The World Meteorological Organization has lists of names that are used on a six-year cycle.
The only time the list changes, according to the National Hurricane Center, is when a storm has done so much damage that it would not be appropriate to reuse it, then the name will be retired.
The list of names for the 2024 hurricane season are:
Alberto
Beryl
Chris
Debby
Ernesto
Francine
Gordon
Helene
Isaac
Joyce
Kirk
Leslie
Milton
Nadine
Oscar
Patty
Rafael
Sara
Tony
Valerie
William
If there are more than 21 named hurricanes in the Atlantic, then the WMO will use names from an alternate list of names the group maintains.
