2025 Global Tropical Cyclone Season Discussion

[Atlantic]

I just keep wondering when our first Atlantic hurricane will be @Atlantic

August is the most likely month. Unless this east coast AOI decides to pull some strings and blast off literally.

Yeah true @Atlantic . Usually it’s August. Last year was unique

Last year with that hurricane was unique in a sorts of ways.

On the topic, one year ago yesterday an anomalous monster was born…

I tracked it to for a brief time and I’m glad I did. When I tracked it, it had just become a record early record (for the month of June at least) strong Category 4 hurricane.

Both of these look alike quite a bit to me; here’s the interesting thing: both of them were a Hurricane Emily from two different years.

Emily 1987, a Category 3


Emily 2005, a Category 5.

This is one of the few names in the Atlantic that has managed to become a major hurricane more than once without a retirement.

My sisters name @Atlantic why do they use names twice?

Emily became a major hurricane in 1987, 1993 (both years were as a Category 3) and most recently 2005 (as the second earliest Category 5 on record).

Here are the tracks of the three Emily’s;

1987;


1993 (it literally mirrored its beginning track at the end of its track);



And 2005;

Or maybe I need to research more @Atlantic

What do you mean?

They use six lists of names, every list is used once in one year and then that same list ( with new names pending if any names were removed from the list in the previous time the list was used) every six years.

So the list being used this year (commonly referred to as List 5 or Atlantic List 5) will be used again in 2031.

The 2030 list shown here was used last year, 2024. In this year’s spring the names Beryl, Helene and Milton were retired and replaced with Brianna, Holly and Miguel. Those two new names will have a chance to be used for the first time in 2030 (minus Holly, which was used in the 1970s)

Thanks much @Atlantic. I just never knew how they do all the name stuff

Thanks much @Atlantic. I just never knew how they do all the name stuff

Prior to 1977, they used all-female names in lists. Due to backlash over that, they implemented a male-to-female set of lists beginning in 1978 in the Eastern Pacific and in the Atlantic in 1979. The male to female alternating name are what we have used to this day.

Appreciate it @Atlantic!!!
