Names
Due to a record breaking La Nina, all the storm names were used up, and 4 greek letters had to be used.
Retirement
Due to their impacts, the storm names Cristobal, Gonzalo, Laura, Sally, and Wilfred were retired. They will be replaced with Carson, Gage, Lola, Scarlett, and Warren for the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
Names that were almost retired
Two names came very close to retirement. Those names were Josephine and Vicky. However, Josephine was a very weak storm upon landfall, and Vicky only had a moderate impact. So they stayed on the name list. This marks the one of the very few times a C5 atlantic hurricane has not had its name retired. It turns out the NHC even had names selected to replace them that went unused. The names were Jessie and Vera.
Greek Alphabet
The name Gamma will be temporarily retired. If the greek alphabet is used before 2086, the name Gamma will be skipped over.
