2025/26 Storm Season: Why do we name storms? | ITV News

The Met Office has released the named storms of the 2025-26 season, which were all picked by the public.

More than 50,000 suggestions were submitted, many in tribute to loved ones and even favourite pets.

The list is released by the UK’s Met Office, in partnership with Ireland’s Met Éireann and the Dutch national weather forecasting service KNMI.

Becky Mantin explains why we name our storms.
