The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms...

It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names appear):

BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell.

Met Office page is: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-our-storms-call-for-names

Whilst the Met Office is unlikely to adopt any of the above 5 names, if they are suggested in huge numbers it may attract media coverage, as was the case with Boaty McBoatface but with more serious intent. This would be enough to make the point to the government and the wider British public, might even get some overseas attention.

Hello World!

It's Finland calling!

Here, up in the North, you know, #Lapland, #ArcticCircle, reindeers, Santa Claus etc.

For the 3rd week, this is how the #weather is like in here. The #heat limit here is 25 °C.

Today yet another record was broken - it has been 19 days that the #temperature has been above 30 °C somewhere in #Finland. And tomorrow it'll be 20 since this map is for tomorrow afternoon.

You think #ClimateChange isn't real?

Well, think again.
