Could we be drenched by Daisy or frozen by Fleur?

The Met Office has unveiled its chosen storm names for the next year in the hope that giving the incoming bad weather this winter a moniker will ensure the public pay attention to the risks posed by strong winds. Scroll down for the full list of names

Last year it was Storm Eunice who was responsible for England's 122mph record gusts.

But over the next few months it could be Antoni, Betty or Cillian that will take charge of a weather system which is forecast by meteorologists to cause medium or high impact in the UK or Ireland.

In addition to strong winds, the impact of rain and snow will also be considered in the naming process.

The storm names for the 2022/23 season have been announced by the Met Office, in partnership with Met Éireann in Ireland and KNMI in the Netherlands, and all of the names in this year's list have been generated by the public.

Betty also came out on top thanks to a vote on the Met Office's Twitter account where 12,000 votes were cast selecting the name for the letter B.

KNMI’s selected names, including Antoni, Hendrika, Johanna and Loes, are named after influential Dutch scientists. Met Éireann’s submissions include Cillian, Fleur, Íde, and Nelly.

Met Office Head of Situational Awareness Will Lang, who leads responses in times of severe weather, said naming storms does help convey important messages to people.

He explained: "We know from seven years of doing this that naming storms works. Last year, Storms Arwen and Eunice brought some severe impacts to the UK and we know that naming storms helps to raise awareness and give the public the information they need to stay safe in times of severe weather."

Met Office post-event surveys also showed that 98% of those living within the red warning area in the southeast for Storm Eunice were aware of the impending bad weather, and 91% of those took action to protect themselves, their property or business.

Will Lang added: "Recent impactful storms demonstrated our ongoing need to communicate severe weather in a clear way to help the public protect themselves. Naming storms is just one way that we know helps to raise awareness of severe weather and provides clarity for the public when they need it most."

The 2022/23 storm names in full are Antoni, Betty, Cillian (kill-ee-an), Daisy, Elliot, Fleur, Glen, Hendrika (hen-dree-ka), Íde (ee-da), Johanna (yo-hah-na), Khalid, Loes (l-oo-s), Mark, Nelly, Owain (oh-wine), Priya, Ruadhán (ru-awe-on), Sam, Tobias, Val and Wouter (vow-ter).
