Ahead of the June 1 start of the 2021 North Atlantic Hurricane Season, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released its list of storm names.
The season, which the WMO expects to be another above-average cycle, sees the rotation of 21 names and an additional 21 supplementary names—should the list be exhausted as it was in 2005 and 2020.
As agreed in its March 2021 hurricane committee meeting, the WMO has discontinued the use of the Greek alphabet.
See 2021 list, as well as supplementary names, in the table below:
