Storm Jocelyn comes after Storm Isha brought gale-force winds and major disruption on Sunday night and Monday morning. This storm was announced after the meteorological organisation issued a new yellow weather warning for wind. In 2015, following the success of the US model, the UK Met Office and Irish service Met Éireann launched their first "Name our Storms" campaign, BBC News reports. Additionally, they have been joined by the National Weather Service of the Netherlands who contribute a few names each year. As part of the 2023/24 weather season, the Met Office has named a number of storms after prominent scientists, meteorologists and other people involved in the weather.
