How Cyclones Get Their Names

Hurricanes and tropical cyclones in the West have had their own names since 1953, as per a convention by Miami’s National Hurricane Centre and maintained and updated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a Geneva-based agency of the United Nations.

However, culturally diverse South Asia and the Middle East embraced this late and with care, so that the naming satisfies everyone and offends no one. So in 2004 they grouped together and evolved a mechanism to name the tropical cyclones.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Sri Lanka and Thailand by now decided 64 names, each contributing eight names. They meet every year and replenish the list for upcoming cyclones.
