The United Kingdom's Met Office, in collaboration with their Irish counterpart Met Éireann, decided to introduce a storm naming system following the St Jude’s day storm on 27–28 October 2013 which caused 17 deaths in Europe. The first storm, Abigail, was named on 10 November 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Abigail, First British Storm Ever Named, Slams Scotland, Ireland )〕 ==Reasoning== The objectives behind the decision were to: * Raise awareness of the dangers of storms * Ensure greater public safety * Avoid confusion if the name of the remnant of a tropical storm is used, for instance “the ex-hurricane Joaquin that reached Europe earlier this month.” * Involve the public * Operate with a common cross border system The names will be used on predicted large-scale, cyclonic windstorms with potential for significant land-based wind impacts. This may result in names being allocated to events that are below the traditional Beaufort scale definition of a storm.〔 Status Orange or Status Red weather warnings will applied to named storms.〔 In the case of ex-tropical storms or hurricanes, the original name allocated by the US National Hurricane Center in Miami will continue to be used.〔 The less common letters Q, U, X, Y and Z will not be used, which keeps the UK and Ireland in line with the US hurricane warning system.〔 The two Met offices, after consultation with the public using "''Name our storms''", which on 8 September 2015〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=8 September 2015 - Help the Met Office and Met Éireann name our storms this winter )〕 sought public participation in suggesting names, chose the first batch of names. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winter storm naming in the United Kingdom and Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
