Why are TV news teams pronouncing storm Claudia as storm Cloudier? Is it because it was cloudy when Claudia was here? (and there's no 'o' in Shrewsbury, either).

Will be due to the Spanish pronunciation which is like Cloudia, or probably any other latin language

I don't have children so I don't have the frequent opportunity to find out but do they even televise this stuff anymore? I remember similar stuff from my youth; primarily art style, music and whatnot. Like a warm blanket, that old stuff.
