There may well have only been two named storms (by that, I mean storms named by the UK Met Office, Met Eirean or the Dutch Met Service as there has been the odd storm during that time which has been named by others, but which don't count in this regard) during the whole of the last storm season with both of those storms occurring within the month of August which has just passed.
However, a new list of storms has just been issued which will be valid as from today for the year ahead up until and including 31 August 2024. This list was released by the Met Office in a short live stream on their main YouTube channel and you can watch that back there.
The first name on that new list is Agnes and so the first storm from now on to be named by the Met Office, Met Eirean or the Dutch Met Service will officially be Storm Agnes. Given that the general outlook is more settled and high pressure dominated than of late, we might have quite a long wait for Storm Agnes just as we did for Storm Antoni.
However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the season overall, will be quiet and so, it will be interesting to see how far we get down this latest list of storm names in the end.
