Who chooses the names for Hurricanes?

Answer 1

Whoever discovers them?

That's a good question though!

Answer 2

My science teacher told me that like the weather scientists from all arround the world send a long list of names and they put it in abc order or in some kind of order and after a hurricane they name it in abc order then when it runs out of name they do it over again but it cant be the same name

Answer 3

idk..but interesting question=)

Answer 4

It's alphabetical, and the gender changes each time. I'd imagine that the national weather service picks the specific name each time, but I can't say for sure.

Great question! :)

Answer 5

the people that control the richter scale ...? idk. LOL

Answer 6

Naming of hurricanes comes from the history of Army & Navy meteorologists naming storms after their wives/girlfriends. It became standard to use female names for hurricanes, until political correctness made it so they used both male and female names. I believe they go down a list of names, and it goes male/female/male and so forth.

Names are chosen by organizations and approved by a committee. If a storm is powerful enough and wreak enough havoc, such as Katrina, that name is retired from the list. Names are recycled every 6 years.
