Default Clodagh

The North Atlantic has just given birth to a new storm, and it's a girl - Clodagh.

I don't think the Met Office had any choice to go with Clodagh but to go along with the Met Eireann decision. Personally I see it as the wrong decision, wrong because it's now open season for depressions of any size or type to be named, regardless of whether they merit being classified as a storm or not.

I can understand why this maybe came about with Clodagh and it may be down to NWP. I think Met Eireann run their own HIRLAM model and of course the Met Office run a couple of their own. I bet yesterday the HIRLAM model developed this breakaway wave more markedly than the UKMO models (and come to it the GFS from what I can see). I am sure that the Met Office do share model data with the Irish, well I hope share more with them than they do with the people of the UK at any rate!

Anyway the upshot is that we get a third named storm this season, Clodagh, and I can see that 26 letters in the alphabet just aren't going to be enough for the rest of this Autumn and coming Winter!

I wonder how many letters would have been needed in 2013-14.
