The would-be named Storm Gladys is heading for the UK and is predicted to bring more appalling weather throughout the latter end of this week. The UK has been hit by a string of storms all


within days and hours of each other, with Dudley, Eunice and now Franklin causing widespread damage and destruction. During Storm Eunice, the worst storm to hit the country in three decades,


an astonishing 122mph gust was recorded at The Needles on the Isle of Wight, setting a new record for England. Residents in parts of the south of England and Wales were told not to leave


their homes as rare red warnings for wind were issued. Three named storms in the space of five days is a record for the UK - and now there is potential for four storms within the space of


eight days. And there seems to be little respite for Brits this week as another named storm could be on the cards - but will it hit near you? _READ MORE: UK FLOOD WARNING LIVE: HOMES


'STILL UNDERWATER'_ WHEN IS A STORM NAMED? The Met Office spokesperson explained: “The criteria we use to name storms are linked to our National Severe Weather Warning service,


which looks at the impact the weather may have and the likelihood of those impacts occurring. “A storm is generally named when it has the potential to cause an amber or red warning, and are


generally linked to wind, although additional impacts of rain and snow are also considered.” The next names on the storms list are: Gladys, Herman, Imani, Jack, Kim, Logan, Meabh, Nasim,


Olwen, Pol, Ruby, Sean, Tineke, Vergil and Willemien. If you want to suggest a name for a storm, you can email the Met Office at [email protected].
