Retirement[]
On April 4, 2020, at the 42nd session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the names Andrea and Imelda from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths they caused, and they will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. They will be replaced with Ashley and Inga for the 2025 season, respectively.
