2028 Atlantic hurricane season (HurricaneLucas4064)

The 2028 Atlantic hurricane season was a near-average season, featuring 11 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes which caused a total of over $IDK billion (2028 USD) in damages. The season officially began on June 1, 2028, and ended on November 30, 2028. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as shown by Tropical Storm Alex in early January.

System Names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2028. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2034 season. This was the same list used in the 2022 season, with the exceptions of Caleb, Fayth, and Hayley, which replaced Colin, Fiona, and Hermine, respectively. The names Caleb, Fayth, and Hayley were all used for the first time this year.

Retirement
On April 2, 2029, at the 51st session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Earl from its rotating naming lists due to the number of deaths and amount of damage they caused, and it will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. It will be replaced with Ethan for the 2034 season, respectively.
