The Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) launched its tenth season of naming major storms and DANAs at the beginning of the month. This process is considered fundamental not only for the technical and scientific identification of these meteorological phenomena, but mainly for public communication.
The naming of these meteorological systems has proven effective in alerting the population. It has been demonstrated that people pay more attention to adverse weather warnings and follow safety recommendations better when threats are associated with a name, making the information more memorable and accessible.
The article addresses how these identifiers are assigned, although the complete explanation of the naming system is not included in the presented excerpt. The main objective is for the population to be more attentive and prepared for these potentially dangerous meteorological phenomena.
