The coming of the storms: Aileen, Iona, and Larry are some of the names proposed for weather systems which may hit our shores over the coming months




Winter is fast approaching, and with it, the storm season begins.

Meteorological services here and in the UK recently devised a scheme to name Atlantic weather systems that have the potential to cause damage with the goal of ‘raising awareness’ about the approaching danger.

As part of such naming scheme, Aileen, Iona, and Larry are among the monikers that may be assigned to winter storms.

The stormy season begins around now, with a weekend of unsettled weather predicted.
