is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 m.p.h. The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds more than 73 m.p.h.

. Sensitivity: Names linked to significant public figures, controversial topics, or politics are avoided. Retired names: Any name previously retired as a hurricane name will not be reused.

model (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2008. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging
