About UK Storms Tracker

UK Storms Tracker is an independent website that follows named storms affecting the United Kingdom. It is not run by the Met Office, Met Éireann or KNMI.

Questions, corrections and storm reports go through the contact form. Updates are also posted at @UKStormsTracker.

Where the data comes from

• Met Office weather warnings, and the UK share of the storm-name list.
• Met Éireann names storms jointly with the Met Office for the same season list.
• KNMI (the Dutch weather service) is the third naming partner on that list.

Gusts, regions and impacts on a storm page are added when they have a published source. A number that has not been published is left blank rather than shown as zero.

How often it updates

A storm page is updated when the storm is named and again as dates, gusts, regions and impacts are confirmed. Met Office warnings are read from the Met Office UK warnings feed and refreshed on the live warnings pages within a few minutes. The homepage and the next storm page follow the same records, so they change when a storm is named or stands down.
