Met Eireann publishes new names from letters A to W

Met Eireann has revealed the new storm names for the 2020-2021 season.

They've joined with the UK Met Office and the Dutch National Weather Service.

They worked together to compile the list of names based on suggestions from the public.

Once a storm is named by any national met service globally, that name is retained if the storm moves into our waters.

For example Ophelia and Lorenzo were named by the National Hurricane Center in the US.

In addition, Storm Emma was named by Portugal's IPMA.

The names are in alphabetical order, alternating between genders with Q, U, X, Y and Z excluded.
