The Met Office is giving people the chance to name future storms by asking them to send in their suggestions.
Throughout this week, members of the public can send in their suggestions via social media, with the most popular ones being shortlisted for next season's storms.
Now in its fifth year, the "name our storms" initiative was first introduced in 2015 by the Met Office and Met Éireann, the national weather provider in the Republic of Ireland.
Derrick Ryall, associate director of public weather service at the Met Office, said: “In addition to Met Office weather warnings, the storm naming scheme has been proved to raise awareness of severe weather in the UK, providing a consistent message to the public and crucially helping people to make better decisions so they can stay safe and thrive.”
Considering the public overwhelmingly decided to name a polar research ship ‘Boaty McBoatface’ when the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) held a national poll back in 2016, it’s no surprise that people are already coming up with wacky suggestions for storm names.
Some of the most popular suggestions on Twitter so far include Stormy McStormface and Storm Z, after the rapper Stormzy.
Here's how to submit your own suggestions:
How to send in a storm name suggestion
The Met Office is asking people to send in their suggestions on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat by tagging @metoffice using the #NameOurStorms hashtag and their suggestion.
People can also send in their suggestions via email to nameourstorms@metoffice.gov.uk
When is the deadline for name suggestions?
You only have until the end of this week to send in your suggestions, so best get brainstorming.
