Storm Eva (also called Chuck, Staffan and other names) was the fifth named storm of the Met Office and Met Éireann's Name our Storms project. Heavy rainfall from Eva occurred around three weeks after Storm Desmond had brought severe flooding to parts of Northern England, exacerbating the ongoing situation.[6] The low pressure was named Chuck by the Free University of Berlin and Staffan by the Swedish Meteorological Institute.[7][8]
