That was pretty much the reason for naming them. If you know it’s coming you can prepare for it and everyone has a common point of reference.

As of 1120 U.K. time Amber warning now for the U.K. from Dundee down past Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, Newcastle and to Manchester.
even if BA are unaffected (unlikely) you’ll start to see some public transport changes that might affect airport access.

I still think it will be upgraded again if the models stay this consistent.
