Shaun the Sheep vs. Timmy: Storm Name Showdown!
19 Aug
Summary
- Shaun the Sheep and Timmy the Lamb are in a vote for a storm name.
- The winner will name a storm for the 2026-2027 season.
- The Met Office has only reached storm name 'L' so far.
The Met Office is set to potentially name a storm after either Shaun the Sheep or his cousin Timmy the Lamb. A public vote is underway on social media to decide which character will lend their name to a storm during the September 2026 to August 2027 season.
This exciting initiative, spearheaded by Aardman, aims to connect the beloved animated characters with an important public awareness message about severe weather. Representatives highlighted that weather is a familiar element on Mossy Bottom Farm, making this a relevant way to engage the public.
However, for either character to achieve this distinction, they would need to surpass previous naming milestones. The Met Office's storm naming list has, as of the current season, only reached storm name 'L', last seen with Storm Lilian in 2024.
