I think you’re right and it is what I thought originally but they stated on the Reporting Scotland weather forecast that it had been named by Met Éireann (rather than the UK Met Office). It looks like that was a mistake. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001r018/reporting-scotland-evening-news-27092023  25:20 in on the forecast for reference).

Met Éireann has/had however issued an orange warning for wind.

It certainly was, and I can even confirm that here .

However, this seems to be a case where the Met Office should have left the actual naming of this storm to Met Éireann rather than actually naming it themselves, especially since they knew that this storm was already going to be in the process of filling by the time that it reached us here in the UK.

In the end though, that actually makes no difference at all to the fact that it still would have named as Storm Agnes anyway, even if it had been Met Éireann who had named it first.

Currently quite blustery here in Sheffield with some showery rain.

As far as I know, storms can be named by any one of the UK met, Irish met or Dutch met. Today really just highlights the downside of that system. It's been a nasty enough storm in parts of Ireland, causing some damage, even if that damage was fairly localised, mainly affecting the South.

Even if the storm was no worse than we'd expect to see at least a couple of times a year here, it probably merited an orange warning. But you'd have to question the point of naming storms when it's pretty much a non event in so many areas.

Here in Edinburgh, we're getting a fairly decent amount of rain at times from this system which should at least be enough to prevent us from slipping back into the water scarcity situation which we were in recently.

However, this hasn't been the sort of persistent rain which we would typically get from these systems, and the rain has tended to come and go at various times.

As I write, one of these rain areas has cleared away, but there is another one close by to our SW which is looking likely to take its place fairly soon.

Nevertheless, the amounts of rain which we are getting from this system don't really look like amounting to anything more than what we have been getting recently from other systems within what was already going to go down as a wetter than average month here anyway.

The wind has now veered more towards the south here, but there are no real signs of it actually picking up here. However, the fact that the wind has only gone around to the south instead of going all the way round to the west or SW as would normally be the case with these systems is important here because that has clearly also drawn in some warmer air here.

That in turn, has resulted in the temperatures refusing to drop here, and going back up to around 16°C here in Edinburgh, even as late as 10pm BST (21:00 UTC) tonight.😡

My time-lapse for today. Quite windy, especially in the evening, but I've seen much worse locally.

It's the same story here in Edinburgh as well.

The wind has now finally picked up a bit and switched around to the SW here which means that it's no longer coming in from off the North Sea, but we've had far noisier nights than this due to the wind which up until now, has yet to even gust up to 30mph at Edinburgh Gogarbank as I write.

Meanwhile, the rainfall has not only been very sporadic, but the heaviest downpours from this have been very localised as well.

As an example of that, there was quite a big downpour at around 10pm last night which produced a total of 6.0 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank just within that one single hour alone, yet that barely even registered at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh where only a measly 0.4 mm of rain was recorded during that same hour.

As I write, this rain has now become lighter and much patchier as it very slowly clears away.

Finally, the temperatures are still refusing to drop, and remain stuck at around 16°C as at 1am BST (0:00 UTC) this morning, so this has ended up being yet another ridiculously mild night for the time of year once again!!😡

The maximum wind gust at Edinburgh Gogarbank eventually went on to peak at around 44 mph from the WSW but that is virtually nothing at all as far as named storms are concerned and that isn't even enough to make today our windiest day of this autumn.

Now, the wind is already dying down here again so in the end, I have to say that this wasn't really much of a "storm" here.

We have had 9.6 mm of rain from this particular event at Edinburgh Gogarbank according to the raw BUFR/SYNOP data but we have had far more rain than that from many of our past rain events and this isn't even enough to give us our wettest day of this autumn.

Furthermore, the amount of rain from that the botanic gardens in Edinburgh is even less than that at just 4.4 mm.

This recent ‘storm’ seems to bring the naming of these features into disrespect. I’ve never agreed with the idea of naming them in any case. Yesterday the BBC had a live feed all day but apart from what looked like a badly designed/built roof blowing off, some urban shallow rooted trees coming down and a video of an idiot ‘braving’ a flood what was the point they were trying to make of such continuous reporting? Then ‘The worse is yet to come’ later in the day when the system was in any case filling. They were almost it seems hoping  that Agnes to do her worst, or so it seemed on their blanket coverage.

Anyway unless you dig deeper there's little to see or read about Agnes this morning and what there is is really no more than normal boisterous autumnal weather.

The Sun looked unusual at approx 9.00 am. Noticeably dim and Copperish in colour, very sharply outlined, it looked like a sun in middle of Sahara. Must be some Sahara dust and/or wildfire smoke high up in the atmosphere. It looks normal now, whitish and blurred.

(Bold added)
The BBC are climate catastrophists and will seize on every opportunity to promote their agenda.

Matt Taylor on the current BBC website video forecast mentioned wildfire smoke in the atmosphere this morning.
