Storm Names announced for 23/24! Should you be unfortunate enough to have damage in the coming months, we're here to help! Don't hesitate to give us a call! 💨🌊

Here is the new list of for 2023/24 with Met Office and KNMI, The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.

Storms are named when they could cause ‘medium’ or ‘high’ impacts in one of the three partner countries (orange/red weather warnings).

This year, Met Éireann chose names of eminent Irish/Northern-Irish scientists, to honour their important contributions to science and benefits for humankind.

Eoin Sherlock, Head of Forecasting Division in Met Éireann, says:

"Storm naming is an important asset in our warnings arsenal and makes severe weather communications clearer and more effective. It connects our weather services more closely to the public, helping us in our mission to protect lives and property and ensuring the safety of our communities.

We are delighted to celebrate science this year. As part of our process we asked the public to choose the name for letter “A”, resulting in Agnes, after Irish astronomer Agnes Mary Clerke. Our warmest thanks to all who voted and to those who suggested other names that we will keep in mind for future seasons. "

Letter "J" comes after eminent Professor Jocelyn Bell Burner, the astrophysicist who discovered pulsars. She has led a distinguished career with an emphasis on empowering women in physics.

Professor Bell Burnell says: “I am delighted to feature in this distinguished list celebrating science and hope that if a potential “Storm Jocelyn” happens, it may be a useful stirring-up rather than a destructive event! Science advancements increase our knowledge and understanding of the world around us, and I think this is wonderful example of science-based services communications.”

The Met Office proposed "Ciarán", following their own theme and of course we welcomed another Irish name in the list in addition to "Fergus", after Irish scientist Fergus O'Rourke.

Other scientists names are Kathleen, Lilian, Nicholas or Vincent. Can you guess which scientists they're after? Find out more about in the article https://www.met.ie/met-eireann-releases-storm-names-for-the-2023-24-season

Excellent advice today from the Society of Chartered Surveyors. It is of the utmost importance to ensure that a property or home is adequately insured. After all, the cost to rebuild is what a policyholder is insuring their home/property for. With rebuilding costs increasing, it is essential to ensure that the insurance policy reflects this increase. If the mistake of underinsuring is made, you will most likely face the consequences of having a claim settlement reduced proportionally, at the time of a loss. This can be an extremely costly mistake - one you definitely don't want to make!

Should you suffer a loss and need expert advice do not hesitate to give us a call!📞 🔥💧⚡🌧🌪

The national average cost of rebuilding a home in Ireland rose by just over a fifth last year, the Society of Chartered Surveyors calculates.
