Hurricane name list for the 2025 storm season

The names before the hurricane season are: Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dexter, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Imelda, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, van and Wend.

According to the world's meteorological organization, the practice of naming storms became the order of the day, so that officials were able to quickly identify threats to warning reports. The use of a distinctive name – pleased as a high -technical message – could make warnings and news more efficient and better include the community.

The names are literally to pursue the number of hurrican progress in the course of the year. The organization does not use names, starting with the letters Q, U, X, Y or Z. The lists are used in the rotation so that the list of names from 2019 for 2025.

If there is a particularly fatal hurricane, the name sometimes becomes “retired”. For example, hurricane Sandy held names in 2005 in 2005, which were then retired.

The Australian weather man Clement Wragge was largely in practice to name hurricanes in the late 19th century. Instead, he made fun of naming hurricanes after politicians he didn't like and he could say that they “cause great stress”.

During the Second World War, many meteorologists called storms after their women or friends. However, some soon had problems with the gender -specific name conventions. A vocal feminist, Roxcy Bolton, who was a member of the national organization of women, spoke out against practice and said: “Women are not disasters, destroy life and communities and left a permanent and devastating effect.” Instead, she suggested to name storms of politicians, which she said: “Joy in naming things after them”.

In 1979 the practice ended by gender -specific name conventions and the National Weather Service and the World Meteorological Association began to include the names of the men.

The hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th.

In 2024, the Atlantic Hurricane season collected 18 storms. The hurricane Beryl was one of the most fatal and the earliest Atlantic pelvic hurricane of the category 5 hurricane, which records in 2024.

As a rule, the Ocean of the North Atlantic will produce six to seven hurricanes a year, with two two in the United States. However, the cyclone intensity has increased recognizable in the past 30 years, a sign of climate change. An early forecast for the 2025 hurricane season, which was published by the tropical weather and climate research center in Colorado, was an “almost average” year for hurricane activity in the Atlantic, with around 12 storms and five Hurricanes being formed.
