DMI

Storm Otto was named by the DMIDMI The Danish Meteorological Institute is the national meteorological service for Denmark and Greenland. because 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 refused to issue an amber warning for strong winds for Scotland on Wednesday (15th). That left the way open for the DMI to step in and claim the storm as their own, despite the strength of the wind across Denmark in the afternoon being no stronger than it was in the early morning across the north and east of Scotland or northeast England. I have no idea what’s going on down at Exeter, but they certainly seem to have it fixed in their heads that amber warnings will only be issued for Scotland if wind speed exceed 90 mph, and because amber warnings trigger the naming of storms, that, and persistent high pressure in the south, is the reason why there’s been a paucity of them this autumn and winter across 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..
