Here's a rundown of all of the named storms we've seen so far this season.

So far, all of the storms that have affected the UK and Ireland have been named internationally. This is because the impacts were expected to be worse for neighbouring countries, resulting in them naming the system instead.

These storm systems can then be adopted by the UK and Ireland, even if not officially named by the UK Met Office or Met Éireann.

Storm Cláudio

  • Named by Météo France
  • 1st November 2022
  • Mainly affected southern England, Wales and the Channel Islands
  • Peak gust: 115 mph Needles

Storm Otto

  • Named by Danish Meteorological Institute
  • 17th February 2023
  • Affected far north of the UK; northern parts of Scotland and north-east England
  • Peak gust: 83 mph Inverbervie
