Have you ever wanted to name a storm? Well now's your chance.

Storm Franklin has been causing delays across the country today (February 21)and people being advised against train travel in Battersea

On Friday we saw the impact of Storm Eunice across the country including several fallen trees in Battersea.

To highlight awareness, storms are handed names because personalising them registers them more firmly in our minds.

The Met Office's UK Storm Centre says: "The naming of storms using a single authoritative system should aid the communication of approaching severe weather through media partners and other government agencies.

"In this way the public will be better placed to keep themselves, their property and businesses safe.

"Since Name our Storms first launched in 2015 we have issued a new list of names each September. The list runs from early September to late August the following year.

"This coincides with the start of autumn when the likelihood of low pressure systems and the potential for named storms increases."

A storm is given a name from the list when it has the potential to trigger an amber or red warning.

The Met Office opened up the naming convention and invited people to send in their ideas for names of future storms.
