How it works
In Hurricane Idol, names that have or will be used to name hurricanes are put into a competition based on what the judges and the other users of Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki decide. Once the competition is complete, the last name that stands out will be crowned the most popular hurricane name of the year.

Round 1 - Auditions
In the Audition rounds, users will submit names that are their favorites or they believe they could be the best name of the year. The Auditions only last about a week, so make sure to submit your most favorite names! Auditions start November 22nd.

Round 2 - Judges Decision
After all the names have been submitted, the judges will search through them and will agree on which names are the best to move on through to the next round. Hopefully the names you submitted make it! Judging starts December 1st.

Round 3 - Top 24 names are announced- "Opening Day"
After the judges have decided on the top 24 names, they will be brought to the main focus point, the competition.

Season 5 Judges
The following users below have been named the judges of this competition. Any questions or concerns about Hurricane Idol can go on their talk pages.


 * Not David Brown Is your host judge this season! Not David Brown became interested in meteorology in 2007, and in 2010 wanted to know a lot more. He studied only about a week before knowing all about atlantic hurricanes. In December, he decided to study the East Pacific Basin, and in mid-2011 learned about the rest of the Northern Hemisphere's basins. He knew some information on the Southern Indian Ocean, but did not deeply study it until early 2012. Not David Brown joined the wiki in May, but has made small edits since 2012. He has been a kind-hearted person his whole time here (except when he was hungry once *-*). His friend and fellow admin Steve guessed he was 18 even though he is 12! Now, as a code master, future meteorologist and your host, he couldn't be more ecstatic!


 * HypercaneTeen - Background: He makes very intense and hyperactive seasons on HHW, he's been a bureaucrat and administrator here since January 4, 2014. he's been a contributor here since May 18, 2013. Starting since 2010 he's been interested in hurricanes and their wrath and beauty. He's also been through the extratropical remnants of Hurricane Sandy. He also knows alot about tropical cyclone formation and dissipation. He is also very excited to be a judge on Hurricane Idol Season V!!


 * Steve820 - Background: He has been the host judge for seasons 2 (the season that brought back Hurricane Idol from the dead) and for season 4, and has been judge for all seasons except for season 1! He knows a lot about tropical cyclones and how they develop and form, and is mostly interested in the Atlantic and Pacific basins. Steve has been interested in tropical cyclones for a total of 4 years (since September 2010) and has been on this wiki for 2 years (since October 2012). He's also been on the hurricanes wiki for over a year (since July 2013) and joined a few various other wikis since then. Steve is a mostly kind-hearted person like NDB, and is very excited to be judging season 5 after stepping down from last season as host judge!
