The Met Office has revealed that historic storm names will make a comeback in the 2024-25 storm season. This decision aims to honor significant past storms and provide a sense of continuity with historical weather events. Names from notable storms in British history will be used alongside new names, allowing the public to draw connections between past and present weather patterns.
