This is a list of historic tropical cyclone names.

[edit] North Atlantic
North Atlantic Ocean storms are named by the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Since 1979, six lists are rotated every six years. For a listing of retired names, see List of retired Atlantic hurricanes.
[edit] Names effective 1971-1978
Introduced in 1971, these lists were to be rotated every ten years. They remained in use only through 1978, when a new set of six lists containing both male and female names was adopted, to begin the following year. Consequently, the lists for 1979 and 1980 were never used. The names Agnes, Carmen, Fifi, Eloise and Anita were retired from these lists.

From 1960-1970, four lists were rotated every four years. They were:

[edit] Names used for 1953-1959
In 1953 and 1954, one list was repeated for use, starting with the letter A. Female names were used and names starting with X and Y were only added in 1954 (and removed in 1956 along with names starting with Q and U). From 1955 there was no permanent set list and new names were drawn up every year. This continued until 1959, when a semi-permanent list of four became effective in 1960. The names Hazel (1954), Connie (1955), Diane (1955), Ione (1955), Janet (1955), Audrey (1957), and Gracie (1959) were retired from these lists.

[edit] South Atlantic
South Atlantic tropical cyclones are not officially named. The only recorded hurricane in the South Atlantic occurred in late March of 2004 and was called Hurricane Catarina by Brazilian meteorologists after the Santa Catarina province where it made landfall. Some also called it Hurricane Aldonça to match the pattern used in the North Atlantic of naming hurricanes alphabetically.
[edit] North Pacific east of 140W
Eastern Pacific hurricanes are named by the National Hurricane Center or its predecessors, the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center and Joint Hurricane Warning Center. For a list of retired names, see List of retired Pacific hurricane names.

The name Hazel was removed after 1965 for unknown reasons.
[edit] Central North Pacific (Date line to 140W)
Part of the naming basin of typhoons in the Western North Pacific Basin from 1960 to 1978. Prior to this some storms that brew near Hawaii were named with names mostly borrowed from the Western North Pacific list: Hiki (1950), Kanoa, Della and Nina (1957) and Clara, Dot, Patsy and Wanda (1959).
[edit] Western North Pacific
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center named Western North Pacific tropical cyclones until 1999. Names were alphabetized and both gender names were used since 1978. Since then, they have been named by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

[edit] Japan
In the Japanese press, numbers are preferred over names. Typhoon names fell out of general use after the end of the US occupation. Typhoons are numbered successively each year. So Typhoon Mawar, which made landfall over Tokyo in August 2005, was known locally as taifuu 11. In scientific use this is combined with a year number (T0511 for the eleventh typhoon of 2005). Official documents use the year in the Japanese calendar (Heisei 17 taifuu 11). In addition eight especially significant typhoons were named by Japan Meteorological Agency according to the area where they caused most damage.[1]
Name | Number | Name in Japan |
---|---|---|
Marie | T5415 | Toyamaru Typhoon |
Ida | T5822 | Kanogawa Typhoon |
Sarah | T5914 | Miyakojima Typhoon |
Vera | T5915 | Isewan Typhoon |
Nancy | T6118 | 2nd Muroto Typhoon |
Cora | T6618 | 2nd Miyakojima Typhoon |
Della | T6816 | 3rd Miyakojima Typhoon |
Babe | T7709 | Okinoerabu Typhoon |
[edit] Philippines
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within its area of responsibility, along with the international names used in the Western North Pacific. Lists are recycled every four years. If the list of names for a given year is insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list.
