US EditionWhat’s in a Name? Hurricane Season Has Begun and Here Are the Storm Names for 2025
- The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has begun with a set list of 21 names used by the National Hurricane Center.

- Recent retirements include Beryl, Helene, and Milton from 2024 due to death and destruction, replaced by Brianna, Holly, and Miguel for 2030 use.
- The 2025 list alternates female and male names, starting with Andrea, while Dexter replaces the retired Dorian, a Category 5 hurricane from 2019.
- Due to confusion caused by Greek alphabet names used in 2005 and 2020, a supplemental list was created in 2021 to name storms after 21 per season.
