Britain’s first official named storm – Abigail – will hit on Thursday bringing 80mph winds and potentially hazardous waves, the Met Office has confirmed. Storm Abigail will arrive in the evening of 12 November, bringing strong winds to the north of the UK as a deep low pressure system moves across the Atlantic. It is a landmark for UK forecasting, representing the first time that a severe weather system has been given a name under the Met Office’s “Name Our Storms” project. As part of the pilot project, storms throughout autumn and winter 2015/16 will be named based on a list from A-Z chosen by members of the public. There was some risk of disruption to transport networks across the north and northwest of Scotland, while large ways could pose a threat to some coasts. Eddy Carroll, the Met Office’s chief meteorologist, said: “There remains some uncertainty regarding the exact extent and timing of strongest winds but current forecasts suggest that this storm could have some medium impacts such as disruption to transport and so a warning has been issued and the first storm has been named as Abigail.” linkBetter batten down the hatches! Well I should living up north, its already started here tonight, heavy rain and wind. The sea has been unusually high here the past few days.
