The Met Office has revealed the new names for storms that will batter Brits in the 2022/23 season, after the public were called in to help.
Every year since launching in 2015, the Name Our Storms allows members of the public to suggest the names for the new storms list.
This year, more than 12,000 voted for Betty in a poll cast on Twitter - perhaps in tribute to Frank Spencer’s long-suffering wife in ’70s sitcom Some Mothers Do’ Ave ’Em.
Other names to make the list this year include Daisy, Glen and Owain.
The storms themselves are named when they have the potential to cause an amber or red warning.
Met Office head of situational awareness Will Lang, who leads responses in times of severe weather, said naming storms helped raise public awareness.
He said: "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."
The Name Our Storms project generally runs from early September until late August the following year, coinciding with the beginning of autumn, and people can suggest names by emailing nameourstorms@metoffice.gov.uk.
It was first created to make the public more aware storms that lead to amber or red warnings.
In a press statement, the Met Office said that 98% of those within the red warning area in the southeast for Storm Eunice were aware of the warning, and 91% of those took action to protect themselves, their property or business.
