Answer 4

This is an easy way of keeping track of tropical systems. Rather than having to tell people "hey there's a hurricane coming your way", you may state, "hurricane _____ is headed towards you." Naming hurricanes also allows for history to be recorded easier. Names can be retired in the event that a hurricane breaks a record, or does something quite historical.

I hope this helps.
