Have I been asleep? I remember Dennis, now Jorge. When did we have EFGHI?
-
For some reason, the Irish Met. have been naming storms up to Dennis, but the Spanish have named Jorge. I, too, don't get the logic. I'm pretty sure Jorge isn't Spanish for "E", rather is it "George".
-
Maybe they already had Eduardo, Fernando, ...
-
The Spanish are on a different sequence.

Nigel Fartrage is, of course, FUMMIN', because he wanted this one to be Storm Enoch. And the one after that to be Storm Front.

Storm Ellen will be along shortly. Full explanation here.

That doesn't really explain why they chose a MALE name to follow Dennis. I thought they alternated M/F...
-
Because it's on a completely different schedule on names.
Dennis was named by the Met GB and Ireland shared system, Ellen is next and Ciara was the previous
Jorge was named by what ever shared naming system the Spanish are in, Inés was the previous Karine is next
Most of the met services stick with the first name it lands in Europe with, what's unusual with Jorge is that it's come north and been on our radar.
The Wikijunkia article shows the two main european naming systems and the storm paths.

As above the storm naming isn't a European wide scheme. So it is quite simple as to why it isn't following the UK / Irish storm naming.

This is what happened to Windy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d27hPy38EyI

Jorges path Alters Mid-atlantic which may explain why Spain named it first, looking at the path of many of the storms named by France or Spain that come off the Atlantic we are they eye, where as for the storms Ireland or the yUK name the eye is near Iceland.
Been following windy wilson crayons as he's been showing how its moved up great Britain with the eye over the Highlands, certainly unusual.
