At Last! Met Office Have A Named Storm! . . . . . Except It Was Named By The Danish Meteorological Institute
The UK Meteorological Office are so desperate for a named storm this winter that they’ve stolen one from the Danes! Hilarious.
"A low-pressure system which will bring high winds and rain to parts of the UK has been named Storm Otto by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).
Storm Otto will move east across the far north of the UK from the early hours of Friday morning, likely bringing gusts in excess of 75mph to some northern areas.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “Storm Otto will bring high winds and rain to the UK, with some northern parts of Scotland and the northeast of England likely to get the strongest gusts of wind, possibly in excess of 75mph. Warnings have been issued and could be updated as Storm Otto develops.
Hahaha. It’s not the UK’s ‘first named storm’ because the idiots at the Met Office had to steal it from the DMI. That doesn’t count guys. But anyhow, it’s going to get a bit windy in parts of northern Scotland and northeast England. Better secure your garden furniture. This never happened before we changed the climate.
Even funnier. The Danes named it Otto: after Friederike Otto, the world famous Imperial College extreme weather attributor who hypes all kinds of bad weather as evidence of man-made climate change? Too funny.
The Beeb will be jumping for joy.
