2024 Atlantic hurricane season (HurricaneLucas4064)

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a very hyperactive season, featuring 21 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes which caused a total of over $IDK billion (2024 USD) in damages. The season officially began on June 1, 2024, and ended on November 30, 2024. 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 William in December.

System Names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2024. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2030 season. This was the same list used in the 2018 season, with the exceptions of Francine and Milton, which replaced Florence and Michael, respectively. The names Francine, Milton, Sara, Valerie, and William were used for the first (and only, in the case of Milton) time this year. The name Sara replaced Sandy after 2012, but was not used in 2018.

Retirement
On April 14, 2025, at the 47th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the names Ernesto, Joyce, Milton, Rafael and Tony from their rotating naming lists due to the number of deaths and amount of damage they caused, and they will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. They will be replaced with Ethan, Joanna, Matteo, Robert, and Tyler for the 2030 season, respectively.
