Winter 2015 involved very harsh weather (remember Storm Clodagh, Desmond et al) and judging by the latest information, the next few months could see similar conditions.

In case you need reminding, here are some of the names that wreaked havoc on the country last year and below are the monikers predicted for this winter’s storms.

Spotted on JOE.ie, the below list was tweeted by Barra Best, a BBC presenter, weatherman, and journalist.

Posted earlier today, Barra said that the storms that arrive during autumn-winter 2016 will be named again, just like 2015.

We imagine people with these 21 names will be getting some amount of slagging over the next while but here’s hoping the stormy weather holds off a little bit longer.

The list in full, which includes 21 names, reads:

Angus
Barbara
Conor
Doris
Ewan
Fleur
Gabriel
Holly
Ivor
Jacqui
Kamil
Louise
Malcolm
Nathalie
Oisin
Penelope
Robert
Susan
Thomas
Valerie
Wilbert

Noticeably, Q, U , X, Y and Z are missing.
