Here Are the Named Storms for the 2025 Hurricane Season

What’s in a name? Well it depends. With June here, the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has officially begun.

The perennial storm season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, uses a predetermined list of names maintained by the World Meteorological Organization. 

The list for 2025, recycled from 2019 with one replacement (Dexter for Dorian due to its retirement after the devastating 2019 hurricane), includes 21 names. 

Hurricane Season: What Are the Named Storms for 2025?

These names are assigned to tropical storms or hurricanes when they reach sustained winds of at least 39 mph. Here is the full list of named storms for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season:

– Andrea
– Barry
– Chantal
– Dexter
– Erin
– Fernand
– Gabrielle
– Humberto
– Imelda
– Jerry
– Karen
– Lorenzo
– Melissa
– Nestor
– Olga
– Pablo
– Rebekah
– Sebastien
– Tanya
– Van
– Wendy

If more than 21 named storms occur, which is rare (only happening in 2005 and 2020), a supplemental list of names will be used, starting with Adria.

The names Van and Wendy are notable as they have never been used for Atlantic storms since the list’s inception in 1983.

Forecasts predict an above-average season, with 13–19 named storms expected, based on projections from NOAA, Colorado State University, and other meteorological agencies.
