During 2017, encouraged by the success of the UKMO and Met Éireann naming scheme, the meteorological services of France, Portugal and Spain, decided to set up their own naming scheme.[1] The naming scheme was discussed throughout the year by email, before it was finalised in various web-conferences during the Autumn.[1] It was decided that a system within the Atlantic Ocean or western Mediterranean Sea would be named if it was expected to cause an orange or red wind warning in either France, Spain or Portugal. It was also decided that a named storm would keep the same name its whole life, including when it moved into the area covered by the UKMO and Met Éireann naming scheme or hadbee.
