How dare the Spanish name our storms - was Brexit in vain?

Seriously, the Spanish warning is just for their north coast, so
barely warranted there quite apart from here. So why have we adopted
it, even unofficially. Answer, to confuse the public!

It certainly confused me when I heard it used for the first time on the
radio this morning. But I was impressed by the speaker's impeccable
Spanish pronunciation.
