Storm Names For The 2019-20 Season Have Been Revealed


Ellen, Hugh and Róisín are just some of the storm names which could be blowing our way over the coming year.

Met Éireann has today unveiled its list of storm names for the 2019-2020 season.

For the fifth year in a row, members of the public have helped choose the 21 names.

Some of the names chosen this year include Brendan, Ciara, Liam, Maura and Willow.

The first storm of the season will be called Atiyah, which is joined by other lesser known names like Gerda, Piet and Iris.

The names were chosen by people across Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands.

This year is the first in which the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute has joined the 'Name our Storms' campaign.

Met Éireann says is hoping people won't be disappointed if their name didn't make the cut.

Forecasters also say the unlucky names will get another chance next year.
