The article discusses how hurricane names for the Atlantic season are chosen well in advance by the World Meteorological Organization, countering assumptions that they are selected randomly. Names are reused every six years unless they are retired after a particularly devastating storm. The article provides a fun ranking of the names for the upcoming 2025 hurricane season, showcasing opinions on names like Chantal, which is celebrated as elegant and strong, and Gabirelle, deemed too gentle for a storm.
Chantal feels like a hurricane name: she's majestic, she's powerful, and she's a force of nature in every sense.
Barry is your gruff neighbor with opinions on how you're mowing your lawn, which feels like the grumpy attitude of a hurricane.
If a storm is particularly deadly or destructive, it will be retired and replaced with another of the same letter.
Dexter is one of three new kids on the block on this list. We like it because of the association with the charming TV serial killer.
