Just to show it's not just Met Éireann that we inherit storm names from, Friday's system has been named "Miguel" by AEMET (France, Spain & Portugal)
I was going to mention the fact that I wouldn't be surprised if that low pressure system which is forecast to give a lot of rain down south on Friday and then here in Scotland on Saturday ended up being an actual named storm since it was around this time last year that we had Storm Hector (at least, I think that this was what it was called) which affected this part of the world back than.
That was only the first named storm to have occurred during the summer since the current joint UK/Ireland naming system first started just before the winter of 2015/16, but that was also a named storm which occurred within what ended up being a far better summer overall than what we are experiencing just now.
On this occasion though, the other European countries have beaten us to that once again and once again, we have yet another example of why there should be a single naming system for these low pressure systems that covers the whole of Europe (as I have mentioned on so many other occasions in the past) instead of this currently disjointed system where we have different countries (or groups of countries) which each have their own naming systems for that.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
