23 Storm Naming Rules Storm depression (definition)

24 Storm Naming Rules Storm depression (definition) Based on Warnings in the Meteoalarm framework (AMBER/ORANGE or RED impact-based and/or thresholds) NMS which first issues the warning names the Storm in consultation with other partners. Names picked by NMS s (public suggestions etc) If a barotropic storm is a post tropical storm, it keeps its named given by NHC Miami preceded by ex.

25 Adopt a Vortex!

26 Adopt a Vortex! Rates for Highs and Lows are different because Highs normally last longer than Lows and so they stay on the weather charts longer. On average we expect to name 50 to 60 Highs and about 150 Lows in one year. You can adopt a vortex for: High 299Euro Low..199Euro
