Met Office Wants Britains To Name Our Storms? That Sounds Like A Terrible Idea

The Met Office has announced plans to name future storms which could head towards our shores in a bid to better inform the British public.

Oh, and they're letting the public name the storms.

We think that's a really, really bad idea. Particularly given the internet's penchant for rallying behind one specific in-joke or mildly humourous online poll. But at least it'd be fun.

Want to name a storm yourself? The Met Office and Irish national forecaster Met Éireann will be accepting suggestions soon.
