Agree with all of the above.
And this idea that giving a storm a name is going to make folk more aware or cautious is nonsense. Only gives rags like the Express more scope for sensational headlines. Ridiculous system.
.
Fully agree, naming storms is not for me...we have enough broadcast and written forcasts to warn about any adverse weather type....naming storms is a waste of time.
that being said can’t wait for heatwave Fred to arrive!

I think anything that approaches damage to property/trees etc could also pose a risk to life through falling debris and as such warnings should be issued. It may only affect a very small area in reality but if it makes people aware, then as today’s event in Hampstead highlights, people may have been a little more wary when passing under/by trees/scaffolding etc, but as with all these things it’s pot luck if something happens and your either in the right or wrong place sometimes but forearmed is forewarned as the saying goes! I would rather be made aware of any potential weather event which could harm me or my belongings...it’s then up to me what I do with the information, it’s not nanny state ethics or the if we get too many warning we won’t heed them mentality. Everyone can make their own mind up on warnings given, it’s a choice.

Anyone seen th news? Not sure of any fatalities yet but a large load of scaffolding has been blown down in Central London....
Yet.. We got a named Storm on Sunday night?
This was my biggest argument on Sunday with regards to naming storms and not naming storms...
Who's right today? The met sent out no warnings.. Intresting 50mph gusts caused quite a bit of agro today by the looks of it...
It was in Hampstead, according to my employee who was in the vacinity, there were no fatalities. I had no idea the gusts would be as strong today. Van was getting buffeted on the M11 on the way home

Essex Weather Retweeted Simon Keeling
Clear to see the newer run (18Z) has a lot more snow across Essex. This seems to tie in with what's developing over the Thames Estuary and Southern North Sea.
Would take that in a heartbeat! Sod all so far

Got quite a few rumbles in Braintree, and a dump of rain for about 5 mins, has cleared the air a little, not a direct hit as I think it skirted us, but It’s better than owt.

I think the only hope to see even a hint of sleet is if it stays calm to aid evaporative cooling - if its too breezy surely it will mix out the cold layers
Fair point, well its very calm here....maybe in for it later !
