With hurricane season about three months away, here are the hurricane names for the potential storms in 2020.
Forecasts predict that the 2020 hurricane season won’t be as active as the last few years when storms named Dorian, Harvey, Irma, Florence and Michael were among the most powerful to make landfall in the Southeast US.
Predictions are for a normal season with 5 to 7 named hurricanes forming this year in the Atlantic.
Hurricane season in the Atlantic begins on June 1 and lasts through November 30. Last year, the first named storm of the season formed before the start date, so it’s a good idea to be prepared ahead of time.
Hurricane names for the 2020 season are:
- Arthur
- Bertha
- Cristobal
- Dolly
- Edouard
- Fay
- Gonzalo
- Hanna
- Isaias
- Josephine
- Kyle
- Laura
- Marco
- Nana
- Omar
- Paulette
- Rene
- Sally
- Teddy
- Vicky
- Wilfred
The 2019 season had 18 named storms, matching 1969 for the fourth most-lively season in the past 150 years.
