From Ana To Wanda, Here Are The 2021 Hurricane Season Names

February 24, 2021

The first day of the official hurricane season is just over three months away.

Hurricane season is June 1 to November 30, but tropical cyclones can and do happen outside the period.

Here are the tropical storm and hurricane names for 2021:

  • Ana
  • Bill
  • Claudette
  • Danny
  • Elsa
  • Fred
  • Grace
  • Henri
  • Ida
  • Julian
  • Kate
  • Larry
  • Mindy
  • Nicholas
  • Odette
  • Peter
  • Rose
  • Sam
  • Teresa
  • Victor
  • Wanda

If there are more than 21 names storms in a season, the names will come from the Greek alphabet. That happened in 2020 with 30 names storms.

    At least we can now pronounce each named Hurricane.

    I hope this season doesn’t need greek letters to name storms, and the category 5 chain from 2016 be broken

    So based on y’all’s experience, who is gonna be the one to hit us like a big whirlwind? I’m going with Hurricane Mindy. ;-)

    I think it is important to note that while currently if more than 21 named storms occur this season we are expected to use the Greek alphabet, the WMO indicated that due to last season’s highly catastrophic Greek storms (Eta and Iota especially) as well as the fact that these “names” cannot even be retired and replaced like regular names, this Greek alphabet’s use and future is going to be a topic of discussion later this spring
