2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season (Akio)

Naming
These are the names that were used for the North Atlantic in 2019. The name Imelda was used for the first time. This is the same naming list as 2013, with the exception of Imelda, which replaced Ingrid. Other than that, the two lists are the same. The names Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van, and Wendy were not used during the course of the year.

Retirement
In the Spring of 2020, the WMO decided to retire three names, Barry, Chantal, and Erin from their naming lists, and they will never be used to name an Atlantic system again. They will be replaced with Blake, Christine, and Evelyn for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
