Since when does the UK have a "storm season"
😕
since we've been on the western edge of the atlantic.
sure everywhere gets stormy weather but nobody ever talked of a storm season before, far as I remember there were Winter, Spring Summer and Autumn, now there is heatwave flood drought and storm pretty randomly it seems..
The Atlantic hurricane season is a time when most tropical cyclones are expected to develop across the northern Atlantic Ocean. It is currently defined as the time frame from June 1 through November 30, though in the past the season was defined as a shorter time frame.

Is this something that the greetings card manufacturers have dreamed up? Perhaps the shops will start selling storm season novelty jumpers too.
Have a Happy and Safe Storm Season everyone.
Doesn't storm season run parallel to the summer season?
since we've been on the western edge of the atlantic.
not eastern..?
Shh. You know, the other west...
What's Fred got to do with it?
Since when does the UK have a "storm season"
For centuries, probably, but it's only recently that it's been recognised by actually naming them, I guess since the famous "hurricane" of Michael Fish fame, people have shown more interest and naming storms makes it easier to reference them historically.
There's no harm in it, I find it hard to understand anyone getting vexed about it; humans have a natural tendency to want to name things, to put them into some sort of context.
José looks like it might twirl over our way, seems unlikely to make landfall in the states.
