Whoof! It's getting hot in here
There's a storm coming, Hendrika.
The new list of storm names for the 2022/2023 winter season has hit, and all 21 names are quite the eclectic mix as per usual.
Beginning with Antoni (the cook from 'Queer Eye') and ending with Wouter (from... something) the full list features a few Irish names thrown into the mix too. So, if you've got a Cillian, a Mark or a Ruadhán in the house, best start writing out those storm jokes now.
Here's the full list, which includes a nod to either Nelly the rapper, 'Maneater' Nelly Furtado or Nelly from down the road, whichever option speaks nearest to your heart. We're feeling a little bit like a bird today, so we'll be blasting some classic Furtado if you're looking for us.
We only made it as far as "F" for Franklin on last year's list, which included names such as Pól, Méabh, Séan, Ruby and Logan. We won't be forgetting how Storm Arwen kicked off the stormy season back in November of last year - a brutal force that ended up interrupting the filming of 'I'm A Celebrity' over in Wales.
Here are some of the reactions to the new storm names for the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 that we've spotted online.

We'll never give up hoping that Stormy McStormface makes the cut for next year's list.
