GFS yesterday and today has the main winds near the centre of the main
low , well out into the Atlantic, with only minor lows nearer the UK.
Too hasty in the storm-naming business this time?, usually the storm
is near enough on our doorstep before the give the next name to it.
Yes loads of strong easterly , but that is due to the Scandinavian
high , rather than that low , well off in the Atlantic, by Friday,

It was named by the Portuguese, and I suppose it's not far from THEIR
doorstep.

Yes, Carol pointed that out this morning.
