Hurricanes and Their Names

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) collects information and gives weather forecasts to cities around the world. It is also responsible for naming hurricanes and tropical storms. Hurricanes start out as storms moving across the ocean. With strong winds, they can travel at speeds of 120 to 320 kilometres per hour. When they reach land, these strong winds, together with heavy rains and large waves, can damage everything in their way. Late summer is the main hurricane season and there can be different hurricanes travelling in the same direction at the same time. Since each hurricane is given a different name, they can be identified immediately. In the 1950s, scientists gave hurricanes and big storms only women’s names. However, in 1979, the US National Weather Service decided men’s names should be used too.

Today, there are six lists of names for hurricanes occurring in the Atlantic. Countries in this region suggest the names to be on the lists. The names can be French, Spanish or English, since these are the languages used around the Atlantic Ocean. Each list of names is used for one year, and after all of the lists have been used, they start over. For example, list five was used in 2006 and list six was used in 2007, so in 2008, list one was used again. Names don’t always stay the same. They can be changed or removed if a hurricane causes a lot of damage. For example, the ‘Katrina’ hurricane which occurred in 2005 was the third deadliest storm in the US. Over 1800 people were killed and buildings in New Orleans were completely destroyed. ‘Katrina’ will now become ‘Katia’ on the new list.
