The official names for the 2025/26 storm season have been revealed. Is your name on there?

The UK Met Office, in partnership with Met Éireann and the Dutch National Weather Service (KNMI) have just revealed the names for the 2025/2026 Storm Season, which begins on September 1st.

This year, the first storm will be named Amy, while the second will be named Bram. Here is the full list below:

You may notice that the letters, Q, U, X, Y, and Z will not be used. This is due to the lack of variety in names with those letters, but also to maintain convention with the US hurricane warning system.

Storms are named when they could cause ‘medium’ or ‘high’ impacts in one of the three partner countries.

The naming of storms in the UK and Ireland came to fruition in 2015 by a “Name Our Storms” campaign run by the Met Office and Met Éireann following the St Jude’s Day storm in October 2013 that killed 17 people across Europe.

Other names?

Ex-hurricanes or ex-tropical systems that cross the Atlantic Ocean also retain the name they are given by the US National Hurricane Centre – as happened with Erin in August 2025.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
