Tropical Cyclone Naming

Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and the North Atlantic Names

The six lists are used in rotation and the 2022 list will be used again in 2028.

The list of hurricane names covers only 21 letters of the alphabet as it is difficult to find six suitable names (one for each of the 6 rotating lists) starting with Q, U, X, Y and Z. In the interests of safety, the name must be instantly recognizable. In addition, English, French and Spanish names are used in balance on the list in order to reflect the geographical coverage of Atlantic and Caribbean storms. The list is also gender balanced and respectful of societal sensitivities.

Until 2020, when a very active hurricane season occurred and the list was exhausted, the Greek alphabet was used (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, etc). This has occurred twice. The first time was in 2005 - a record-breaking year with several devastating hurricanes including Katrina, Rita and Wilma, whose names were all retired - when six names from the Greek alphabet were used. The second was in 2020 - a new-record breaking year with 30 named tropical storms of which nine names from the Greek alphabet, including the devastating hurricanes Eta and Iota.

Starting 2021, in lieu of the Greek alphabet, the lists of supplemental tropical cyclones names will be used.

A name can be retired or withdrawn from the active list at the request of any Member State if a tropical cyclone by that name acquires special notoriety because of the human casualties and damage incurred. The decision to withdraw or retire a name is reached by consensus (or majority vote) during the WMO Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee session that immediately follows the season in question.

Background information regarding the use of the Greek alphabet

The WMO Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee annual session in 2006 discussed the use of the Greek alphabet for hurricane naming, and whether a Greek alphabet name should be retired as done for a regular name when it meets the criteria for retirement. The Committee felt that the use of the Greek alphabet was not expected to be frequent enough to warrant any change in the existing naming procedure for the foreseeable future and therefore decided that the naming system would remain unchanged and that the Greek alphabet would continue to be used.

In this connection, the Committee also agreed that it was not practical to “retire into hurricane history” a letter in the Greek alphabet. Therefore, if a significant storm designated by a letter of the Greek alphabet, in either the Atlantic or eastern North Pacific Basin, is “retired”, the year of occurrence and other details would be included.

However, after the record-breaking 2020 season, the WMO Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee annual session in 2021, decided to end the use of the Greek alphabet and instead, established two lists of supplemental tropical cyclone names, one of the Atlantic, one for the Pacific.

Western North Pacific and the South China Sea Names

The Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) Tokyo - Typhoon Centre will assign a tropical cyclone a name from the list followed by a 4-digit identification number (in brackets). Names on the list will only be given to tropical cyclones of tropical storm strength or above. The names are adopted by ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Commitee and are used sequentially. That is, if the last storm of the year is Cimaron, the first storm of the next year is Jebi.
The names and their pronunciation are also available on the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee website: http://www.typhooncommittee.org/list-of-names-for-tropical-cyclones/

Australian Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre's (TCWC) Area of Responsibility

The single list of names that are used by all of the Bureau of Meteorology Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWC) was introduced for the start of the 2008/09 season, replacing the three lists that existed previously. First name used for the 2008/2009 season is Anika, then Billy, etc.

The name of a new tropical cyclone is usually selected from this list of names. If a named cyclone moves into the Australian region from another country's zone of responsibility, the name assigned by that other country will be retained. The names are normally chosen in sequence, when the list is exhausted, we return to the start of the list.

Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre Nadi's Area of Responsibility

Lists A, B, C, and D are used sequentially one after the other. The first name in any given year is the one immediately following the last name from the previous year. List E is a list of replacement names if they become necessary. Wellington TCWC will name the cyclone, in consultation with RSMC Nadi, by using the next name from RSMC Nadi's list, if a tropical cyclone in the Wellington TCWC's area of responsibility, Wellington.

Northern Indian Ocean Names - Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal

The WMO/ESCAP Panel on Tropical Cyclones (hereafter the Panel) at its twenty-seventh Session held in 2000 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, agreed in principal to assign names to the tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The naming of the tropical cyclones over north Indian Ocean commenced from September 2004, with names provided by eight Members. Since then, five countries have joined the Panel.

The Panel Member’s names are listed alphabetically country wise.
The names will be used sequentially column wise.
The first name will start from the first row of column one and continue sequentially to the last row in the column thirteen.
The names of tropical cyclones over the north Indian Ocean will not be repeated, once used it will cease to be used again. The name should be new. It should not be there in the already existing list of any of the RSMCs worldwide including RSMC New Delhi.
The name of a tropical cyclone from south China Sea which crosses Thailand and emerge into the Bay of Bengal as a Tropical cyclone will not be changed.

The RSMC New Delhi Tropical Cyclone Center is responsible to name the tropical cyclones that have formed over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea when they have reached the relevant intensity.

The names to be used will be taken from the list below, starting with Nisarga, then Gati, Nivar, etc.

Southwest Indian Ocean Names

The list of names to be used in the South‑West Indian Ocean area for identifying tropical (or subtropical) storms that will develop during the next seasons within the area bounded by Equator to 40°S west of 90°E to the east coast of Africa, has been validated by the Tropical Cyclone Committee (TCC) at its last session. The three lists of names shown hereafter will serve as the reference and basis to establish the future lists, just rotating them forward and changing the names having been used operationally during the corresponding ended cyclone seasons, replacing them by new names provided by the Members (and never used before) at the next TCC session.

The name is chosen, following alphabetical order, from a predefined list of names validated for the basin and for the cyclone season of reference (starting each season with the name with the initial letter “A”), except when a tropical system already named in the South-East Indian Ocean (east of 90° E) shifts to the South-West Indian Ocean. In this case the original name is kept unchanged.
