Please can Met office space also migrate to BlueSky? Thx

Good bit of thunder snow last night where I am.

divermanblue.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love these from @metoffice.bsky.social Such good explanations and clear forecasts.

karenneemcnally.bsky.social•100 days ago

Bertie enjoying the snow despite not being impressed by you shortening his name 🤭

katadeney.bsky.social•100 days ago

HOW are the storms named? Obviously alphabetically and alternating male and female names. But does a human choose? Or is it a computer?

pennyend.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s a negotiation between us, Met Eireann and KNMI as we share the list. We get nominations from the public and this year’s names relate to historical figures in meteorology https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/weather-and-climate-news/2024/historic-met-office-figures-included-in-2024-25-storm-names

Fabulous. Thank you 🙏🏻

katadeney.bsky.social•99 days ago

Maybe this Bert https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Bolin

I picture this as the three of you sat around a large table, trading a Bert for a Bart, a Sean for a Simon...

pennyend.bsky.social•100 days ago

Not me personally but I believe discussions are quite lively

jphendo.bsky.social•99 days ago

Sounds like our modern forecasts owe a lot to Mavis' work.

lucidillusions.in•100 days ago

iirc, the public suggests names, and then there are people who shortlist those from suggested list.

might have more details documented somewhere (or votes etc involved)

We are hoping to capture the dynamic riverine flux of nutrients, ecotoxins, pathogens and dissolved organic matter from livestock farming during this storm event, under our NERC QUANTUM programme ..... but wondering about the naming of it and how that's going look in our science papers!🧪

Got any mules there?

Nice clear info, thanks.

I’m convinced Britain is the only country on Earth that acts like winter is some shocking plot twist—despite it showing up right on schedule every single year.

angejay.bsky.social•100 days ago

Three separate weather warnings by me 🤞🏼

inknook.bsky.social•99 days ago

Why aren't regular updates being posted here as well as on Xitter?

alyb.bsky.social•98 days ago

How about calling them after fossil fuel companies rather than giving storms nice names! Storm ExxonMobil, Storm BP, etc…
