I see there’s talk about how this winter has seen no named storms issued by the UKMOUKMO The Meteorological Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. It is an executive agency and trading fund of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and it’s friends. That’s because the naming of storms is a subjective based system based on impact based warnings system, at least in the UKUK The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a country in Europe, off the north-western coast of the continental mainland. It comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.. True, it has been a quieter winter than average, especially in the first half of December, but that doesnt mean there’s been a shortage of candidates for named storms, but because nearly all only affected the north of Scotland and require the issuance of an amber warning, i.e. gusts of 90 mph or more, this didn’t happen. If the UKMO wanted, it could easily create an objective system based on regional NWPNWP Numerical weather prediction uses mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans to predict the weather based on current weather conditions. data, then I think then, people might take it more seriously.
