Is Your Name On The List? Here Are The 2017 Hurricane Names
June 1, 2017
Hurricane season begins today. Is your name on the list of storms?
Here’s the list of storm names for 2017:

- Emily

Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms had been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. They are now maintained and updated through a strict procedure by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization.
The six lists above are used in rotation and re-cycled every six years — the 2017 list will be used again in 2023. The only time that there is a change in the list is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity.
