The list of names has been unveiled to the public ahead of the season
A list of names of the upcoming storms has been revealed by the Met Office. Names like James, Lewis and Mavis are all included in the new list which is issued every year to coincide with the beginning of autumn. The list, which was started in 2015, runs every year from early September until late August the following year.
According to the Met Office, James is named after Group Captain James Stagg, who was the chief meteorologist responsible for advising General Dwight Eisenhower on the weather forecast for the D-Day landings. Lewis is included because of Lewis Fry Richardson, who devised a theory to use maths and physics to make weather forecasts using computers. Mavis is named after Mavis Hinds, who worked on the earliest Met Office computers.
