Where do the storm names come from?

Met Éireann releases a list of storm names annually in conjunction with the national weather services of the UK and the Netherlands.

Since 2015, Met Éireann and the UK Met Office have been working together on the naming programme and were joined by the Netherlands in 2019.

Each of the three meteorological services contributed seven names to this season's list.

Met Éireann's contributions were taken from a list of more than 500 suggestions submitted by primary school children participating in the ESB Science Blast last February.

They are Conall, Darragh, Hugo, Izzy, Naoise, Poppy and Vivienne.
