UK named storms 2ND named Autumn 2017 Storm BRAIN!! (Brian) :)

Just heard a report that any storm's predicted to be dangerous /damaging to the UK will now be named. So as to make people more aware and prepared!
Apparently there has been a competition since September for names to be put forward...

From the link...less than 50%


Derrick Ryall, head of the public weather service at the Met Office, said at the time the name search was announced in September: "We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises awareness of severe weather before it strikes.

"We hope that naming storms in line with the official severe weather warnings here will do the same and ensure everyone can keep themselves, their property and businesses safe and protected at times of severe weather."
