Graphic showing the 2025/2026 storm season timeline displayed over a dark stormy sea background. Logos for the Met Office, Met Éireann and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute appear at the top. The timeline highlights seven named storms and the organisation that named each one: Amy (Met Office, 1 October 2025), Benjamin (Météo France, 22 October 2025), Claudia (AEMET, 10 November 2025), Bram (Met Éireann, 8 December 2025), Goretti (Météo France, 6 January 2026), Chandra (Met Office, 26 January 2026) and Dave (Met Office, 2 April 2026). Each storm includes weather warning icons indicating impacts such as wind, rain, snow, ice and snow & ice.

Although we only used four names from our list this season, the UK was also affected by three additional storms named by other European meteorological services. Storms Benjamin and Goretti (named by Météo France) and Storm Claudia (named by AEMET).
