Met Éireann has named Storm Jocelyn, which is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain to the UK on Tuesday and into Wednesday.
The storm season began with Agnes, which brought heavy rain and gusts of 70mph to the UK in late September.
This was followed by storms Babet, Ciarán, Debi, Elin, Fergus, Gerrit, Henk and Isha.

“What is happening though is that because of a warmer climate the atmosphere can hold more moisture, so when we get these storms the rainfall tends to be a lot heavier.
