1980 WMHB Atlantic Hurricane Season (WeatherWill)

Storm names
The following names were used for named storms that formed in the north Atlantic in 1980. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 1986 season. It was the first (and only, in the case of Allen) use for all of these names since the post-1978 naming change, except for Frances, which had been used in 1961, 1968, and 1976. Names that were not assigned are marked in.

Retirement
In the spring of 1981, at the 3rd session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the names Allen and Frances from its rotating name lists due to their destructive impacts, and they will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. They were replaced with Andrew and Fiona for the 1986 season.
