the year for some of its more notable weather events. Events like ex-hurricane Ophelia, which in October brought high winds and disruption to parts of Ireland and the UK, and memorably for some drew up dust from the Sahara and smoke from the wildfires in Iberia, giving us the appearance of sunset

and Tuesday had a different origin as it developed from a hurricane in the tropical Atlantic. Therefore, Ophelia’s original name was continued rather than using the next predetermined name from the UK and Ireland’s storm-naming process.

in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern hemisphere). A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 mph The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds of more than 73 mph The North Atlantic tropical storm

has been named in line with the Met Office’s storm naming protocol, which aims to improve public awareness and readiness for impactful weather. The storm’s evolution is being closely monitored, with its development influenced by the remnants of Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda over the tropical

and persistent rain bands. In contrast, eastern areas are expected to see much less rain, with some locations receiving less than 10 millimetres over the same period.  READ MORE: When is a hurricane not a hurricane?

model (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2008. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging
