Met Office Tracks Potential First Named Storm of 2025 Heading to UK
10 Sep
Summary
- Met Office monitoring developing low-pressure system over North Atlantic
- Unsettled weather forecast to sweep UK this weekend, with heavy rain and strong winds
- Storm names for 2025 include Bram and Wubbo, but it's too early to confirm if Storm Amy will arrive
As of September 10th, 2025, the Met Office is closely monitoring a developing low-pressure system over the North Atlantic that could potentially bring the first named storm of the year to the UK this weekend. The new storm year has just begun, and the list of potential names includes Bram, in reference to Dracula author Bram Stoker, and Wubbo, after the first Dutch man to go into space, Wubbo Ockels.
Meteorologists have speculated that the deepening low-pressure system could bring unsettled weather, including heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds, to the country between now and the weekend. While the forecasters state it is still too early to announce the expected arrival of Storm Amy, they are closely watching the situation and will provide updates as the forecast evolves.
According to the Met Office, the UK experienced its wettest week for seven months last week, with the North West, South East, and South West all receiving more than 35mm of rain. The country is now bracing for the potential impact of the first named storm of the 2025 season, which could hit on Sunday or Monday.
