Retirement[]
On March 24, 2025, at the 47th session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Debby from its rotating naming lists due to the flooding it caused mainly in New Jersey and New York City, and it will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. It will be replaced with Daisy for the 2030 season.
