The annual list, first released in 2015, generally runs from early September to late August, coinciding with the start of fall. Storms are named when they have the potential to trigger an orange or red warning. This year, Daisy, Glen, Khalid and Owain were chosen from suggestions from members of the public, while Betty won a public vote on Twitter. A list of possible names is compiled by Irish meteorologist Met Éireann, the UK Met Office and the Dutch national weather service KNMI. The KNMI chose Antoni, Hendrika, Johanna and Loes, in honor of famous Dutch scientists. Meet Éireann chose Cillian, Fleur, Ide and Nelly.

The Met Office’s head of situational awareness, Will Lang, said naming storms helped raise public awareness. “We know from seven years of doing this that naming storms works,” he said. “Last year, Storms Arwen and Eunice caused some serious impacts in the UK and we know that naming storms helps to raise awareness and give the public the information they need to stay safe during times of severe weather.” The Met Office said 98% of people in the red zone to the south-east of Storm Eunice were aware of the warning and 91% of those took action to protect themselves, their property or their business.
