AnalysisBy Geoff Maskell, BBC NI weather presenter
The UK Met Office works in partnership with both Met Éireann and KNMI (The Dutch national weather forecasting service) to name Storms .
The criteria used for naming Storms are based on both the impact The Weather may have, and the likelihood of those impacts occurring.
A storm will be named when it has the potential to cause an amber or red warning.
When the criteria for naming a storm are met, any of the three Partners - the Met Office , Met Éireann or KNMI - Can do so.
That does mean that sometimes, like today, Met Éireann have named Storm Atiyah and issued a Red Warning in County Kerry.
No warnings have been issued for Northern Ireland by the Met Office , however gusts close to 60mph (100km/h) Can be expected in western areas on Sunday evening.
This is The First named storm of the season, last year there were eight Storms - The Last was Storm Hannah in April.
Met Éireann issue weather warnings based on a criteria, for example, if winds are set to reach a certain speed, whereas the Met Office issues warning based on the impact The Weather is expected to have.
