As autumn leaves begin to fall, meteorologists are gearing up for another season of stormy weather. Met Éireann, Ireland’s national weather service, has just unveiled an exciting lineup of names for the storms that may sweep across the country in the coming year.
In a collaborative effort with their British and Dutch counterparts, Met Éireann has contributed seven names to the 2024/2025 storm season list. This international weather alliance, consisting of Met Éireann, the UK’s Met Office, and the Netherlands’ KNMI, aims to raise awareness of severe weather and ensure public safety.
According to Irish Examiner, the new storm season officially kicks off this Sunday, marking the beginning of a potentially turbulent period. While we don’t know exactly what Mother Nature has in store, we can now put names to the powerful weather systems that might come our way.
So, the next time you hear about Storm Agnes or Hurricane Barry heading towards Irish shores, you’ll know it’s not just another gust of wind – it’s one of the newly christened weather events ready to make its mark on the 2024/2025 season.
Stay tuned for more updates as we enter this new chapter in Irish weather forecasting!
