Storms are
named for historical reasons to avoid confusion when communicating with the public, as more than one storm can exist at a time. Names are drawn in order from predetermined lists. For tropical cyclones, names are assigned when a system has one-, three-, or ten-minute winds of more than 65 km/h (40 mph). Standards, however, vary from
basin to basin. For example, some tropical depressions are named in the Western Pacific, while within the Australian and Southern Pacific regions, the naming of tropical cyclones are delayed until they have gale-force winds occurring more than halfway around the
storm center.
1980 – moved across the central Atlantic; caused no significant effects on land.
1998 – travelled from north of Bermuda to near the Azores; caused no significant effects on land.
2004 – formed in the mid-Atlantic and turned north, reaching Category 4 strength in open water before hitting the Faroe Islands as an extratropical storm; caused no significant damage on land.
2010 – formed in the Caribbean Sea on a path that took it over the Yucatán Peninsula and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it rapidly strengthened to Category 3 before making landfall near Veracruz, Mexico.
2016 – long-lived but disorganized tropical storm, travelled from near Cape Verde to east of Bermuda; caused no significant effects on land.
2022 – formed in the Bay of Campeche, moved north-northwestward before reversing course and following a south-southwestward path
1981 – late-season Category 1 hurricane that impacted portions of the Greater Antilles and Bahamas.
1998† – severe and erratic tropical cyclone that affected the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Northern Australia. Its remnants eventually regenerated into Cyclone Victor–Cindy.
1999 – Disorganized and weak tropical storm that caused minor damage in Central America and Mexico.
2005† – A powerful Category 5 major hurricane that devastated the U.S. Gulf Coast, making landfall first near Miami, Florida, as a Category 1 hurricane, near Buras, Louisiana and Long Beach, Mississippi, at Category 3 intensity, causing over US$125 billion in damage and over 1,800 deaths.
1989 – synonymous with that season's Lola (one storm with two names, thought to have been separate due to difficulties in tracking poorly organized systems); hit eastern China.
1966 – an eastern Atlantic October storm that was operationally declared a tropical storm but later determined to have not even been a tropical cyclone and was removed from the official records.
2005 – a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone that affected
Vanuatu.
Kesiny (2002) – was the first recorded tropical cyclone – the equivalent of a minimal hurricane – to make landfall in the month of May in the south-west Indian Ocean.
2023† – a powerful Category 5
tropical cyclone the second cyclone that struck at 48 hours in March 2023 on the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu after
Cyclone Judy.
Kilo (2015) – a long-lived tropical cyclone that traveled more than 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) from its formation point southeast of the Hawaiian Islands to its dissipation point northeast of
Japan.
1996† – a strong tropical cyclone crossed the coast at Pardoo Station near Port Hedland, the cyclone did considerable damage to tourist cabins and other structures.
