 Hurricane Who?
Tropical cyclones are called typhoon in Asia and hurricanes in North and South America. These storms go 
around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of the world. They have wind speeds 
of 60 kph or more. In the United States the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami. Florida keeps an eye out for 
hurricanes.
When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a male or female name. Why 
should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easier for people to keep up with information about 
a hurricane and its possible dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization(WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be 
used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different 
letter. The first hurricanes of the year get the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next 
name. For example if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. The name lists do 
not include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z. These aren't many names that begin with these 
letters.
Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee. This list has a few 
personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other similar things.
