Why do meteorologists give women’s names to tropical storms? Where do they get their names from? ?
Who or what determine whether the names should be feminine or masculine?
90 percent of names are female names I wonder...Some of them are listed here: Bertha, Dolly, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Josephine, Katrina, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Paloma, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky, Wilfred, Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dean, Erin, Felix, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Noel, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah , Sebastien, Tanya, Van, Wendy
They alternate A is male, then B is female and so on in one year, then the next year A is female and B is male, ...
They have lists that rotate and change about every 5-7 years, I'm not sure of the time. The names are "retired' if it is especially severe and there are a lot of lives lost. (Katrina, Andrew, Hugo, etc.)
So this year if there is a 'K' it will be a boy's name and 'L' will be a girl's name. Next year if there is a 'K' it will be a girl's name, etc. Not 90% but 50% in a given year are female and male. Until the late 1970's, from the early 50's hurricanes only were given female name. So historically there are more female named storms than male.
NOAA or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gives the names. They used to be all English, now they can be French, Dutch, Spanish, etc for the languages of the countries that can be hit by Atlantic hurricanes. Pacific storms have a similar, but different naming system.
