Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North an America. These forms

speeds of 60 kph or more. In the United 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 ei male or female
name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easy 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 hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list.
The second hurricane gets the next name. For examples if the first hurricane is named Abel, the
second might be named Betty. The name lists do include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X.
Y and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these letters.
