The storms are designated by the meteorological office and the Dutch and Irish counterparts, when they are likely to cause disruption or damage.
The low pressure system such as the fluoris will not be uncommon during autumn or winter months, but it will have greater impact during summer.
But the storms nominated in August are not so rare.
Last year, Storm Lillian hit the UK on 23 August just before the Bank Holiday Weekend, shut down the steps at the Leeds Festival and canceled the Heathro flights.
In 2023, Storm Antony brought wet and very air season to South Wales and Southwest England affecting events such as brighton and Plymouth pride. Storm Betty further disrupted after less than two weeks.
In 2020, there were two August Hurricane – Ellen and Francis – that Met Office has “described as two of the most notable August storms in the last 50 years”.
Both these storms brought 79MPH and 81Mph wind blows with transportation disruption, coastal floods and power cuts respectively.
