    Just wait till they see storm Saidhbhin :pac:

    Major headache for people to pronounce.

    Yes, I'm praying for 20 storms or whatever it takes to get Saidbhin used.

    One of the named storms is Welsh - and it means sunny!

    The Icelanders should be allowed play too. The news was very funny during the time that Eyjafjallajökull erupted.

    How many storms did we get on average over the last few years? 7, 8 or 10 at most maybe? Why not run the list to the end and then start again because ultimately the last 10-15 are never ever going to be reached so it’s a ridiculous pointless exercise coming up with names alphabetically or otherwise next year start at the end and work back the way or heck let’s just abandon it totally as let’s face it, it’s pure nonsense naming a weather event.

    The last one was my mothers name, Ellen. I txt her at the time - this is all your fault isn't it.
