Day Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 First Barney, now Desmond. Stop it whoever has started this rubbish. Oooh do you remember Storm Desmond in December 2015, it rained quite a bit. Bloody Americans this you know, if they go to war we go to war, they name their storms we name our storms, they watch American Football we watch American football, they call their missus bae we call our missus bae. May as well whack a few Stars and Stripes on our flag and develop the most annoying accent in the world. It's not that I hate America, I like the amount of cheese they put on food and I used to watch Baywatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With weather patterns shifting, and more study into it, it makes sense to name the storms so people know which big storm they are referring to.

Day Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yes, I can see them talking about Storm Desmond for years to come, might even get a Stephen Spielberg film on how it rained in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Why not have a severity scale, 1 being severe and 10 being mild, why give a name to them, especially claiming against your insurance,imagine it was Desmond in derby and avril in London.

Day Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thing is they already have a colour system, yellow, Amber and red. The met office somehow think that by giving them names as well people will be more aware of weather. If you want to make people more aware of the weather get in touch with phone companies, they already have inbuilt warning systems coded in. Whilst the missus was in the US she had a notification warning of a madman with a gun on the loose. In Grimsby we have a flood siren for severe weather. Calling it Desmond does nothing.
