The 2016-17 English and Irish hurricane season is the second example of the British Met Office and Irish Met ÃÆ'â ⬠ireann naming extratropical cyclones. Substantially less active than the previous season, this season managed to become the British hurricane season of 2015 and Ireland storms and precedes the European storm season 2017-18.

In 2015, Met Office and Met ÃÆ'â ⬠ireann announce a pilot project to name a storm warning as part of the project Mention our storm for a storm and ask for advice from the public. Meteorological offices produce a full list of names for 2015-16, common to England and Ireland. The list of new names was released on September 19 for the 2016-17 season. The name in the UK will be based on the National Bad Weather Warning Service, when the storm is assessed to have a potential amber alert 'ready' or a red take action warning.
