Forecasters haven’t yet issued their forecast about whether the 2023 hurricane season will be a robust one, but they have, at least, agreed on what the storms will be called.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a list of the 21 names for the Atlantic hurricane season, skipping letters that generally have fewer names associated with them (Q, U, X, Y and Z). This follows news earlier this year that the WMO Hurricane Committee has retired Fiona and Ian from the list of potential names.
