2017-18 Eurasian Arctic cyclone season

The 2017-18 Russian polar cyclone season is the first instance in which polar lows that form in the arctic waters of Russia are officially named. The season will officially start on December 1st and end on April 30th. Polar cyclones that form in the Russian arctic basin are monitored by the Cooper Meteorological Center (CMC) and receive names from one of four rotating name lists once they reach wind speeds of 39 mph (80 km/h).

Storm Names
The following names will be used for polar cyclones that form in the CMC's area of responsibility. The names used in this season will be used again in the 2021-22 season. A name can be retired if its associated storm causes severe damage and/or causes major loss of life. However, this is a rare occurrence.
