Well, there we go. I did say on today's current conditions thread that this approaching weather system would probably be classed as a named storm if this happened during the winter. From what I can see now though, it doesn't seem to matter what time of year that they happen in although this is probably the first time that we've had a named storm during the summer when I would have expected these things to be very rare.
On a side note though and since you are an Irishman, I was wondering what you think about the redesign of the Met Eireann's website. If I was an Irishman, I would be disappointed because the old site at least had the green colour which is traditionally associated with Ireland whereas now, that has been replaced by what I see as a rather horrible looking blue colour. What do you think?
