They (the Met Office) seem to have distanced themselves from it.

Louise Lear mentioned it on the 18:30 BBC1 forecast.

but when she did, she said that it was named by Met Éireann and not them...

Blowing a howling gale here (Dublin)...well not really.

I still can't find any reference on Met Eireann site to Storm Jake although media claiming it was named by them. Checking their twitter feed too and nothing there. Left left a comment for them.

Could be they're battening down the hatches around Glasnevin in anticipation!

Strange call if it was Met Eireann naming this as forecast is for strong and gusty winds only and an Orange level warning. Nothing storm-like!

My apologies for my own post reply but I've probably been unfair to Met Eireann if Orange warning is justified. It reads:

Warning for Ireland reads W, NW and South:

Wind Warning for Coastal fringes of the north, west and south
Westerly winds, veering northwest, will increase to mean speeds of 65 to 75km/h with gusts of 110 to 130km/h overnight in exposed areas with high seas also.
