Storm names 2025-26: How do storms like Amy get their names?
The UK is bracing for Storm Amy, the first named storm of the 2025/26 season, with strong winds and heavy rain threatening to wreak havoc. The Met Office has issued weather warnings, with gusts of up to 80mph expected in some areas.
Forecasters warn of a potentially devastating combination of strong winds and heavy rain. "The system will bring gale-force winds across northern and western regions," said Tom Crabtree, the Met Office's deputy chief meteorologist.
The storm has already caused concern among residents and commuters, with many taking to social media to express their anxiety. "The combination of strong winds and heavy rain is a perfect storm for disruption," said Simon Williams, a RAC breakdown spokesman.
The Met Office is urging people to stay alert and keep an eye on forecasts. Storm Amy is expected to make landfall on Friday, with yellow weather warnings issued for heavy wind from 6pm.
