Episode Details

Storm names are back for the season, with Met Éireann, UK, and Dutch agencies unveiling a diverse roster like Olaf and Dano—many voted by the public, even honoring pets like Theo the cat and Ivy the dog. This inclusive naming system, now in its 11th year, evolved from an old tradition of female-only hurricane names (dating to 1953) that research linked to underestimating danger. Today’s global, culturally rich list—including Shaun, a playful nod to Aardman’s sheep—reflects community input and aims to make storms feel more personal and urgent, not less.
