Brian was announced by the Met Office as a storm name for the 2017-18 season last week, and for Arctic Monkeys fans it was about time.

Storms are given a name when there is a risk of medium to high wind impact, but fingers crossed Brianstorm will only be calm, collected and commanding.

"If you don't wear a t-shirt and tie combination on the day that brainstorm comes then we cannot be friends," Ross Buchanan tweeted.

It remains to be seen whether storm Brian hits the band's hometown of Sheffield.

Asked to a little to say about 'Brianstorm's protagonist once, frontman Alex Turner could only manage: "I can’t remember Brian now… I don’t know if he were in my imagination or what… it’s a blank spot in my brain… I think that’s what [Brian] wanted."

Grasping at straws, another music-referencing storm is set to come on: Aileen.

Arctic Monkeys have been quiet of late, their last album, AM, being released back in 2013.
