Disclaimer: The content on this wiki is fictional and NOT a resource for real tropical cyclones. NONE of this wiki's content should be taken as a real indication of inclement weather.
In Hurricane Idol, names that have or will be used to name hurricanes are put into a contest based on what the judges and the other users of Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki decide. However, since Season 9, names that have not been used to name tropical cyclones have been submitted. Once the contest is complete, the last name that stands out will be crowned the winner of the contest and the most popular hurricane name of the year.
Blocked users will have their names disqualified, but will be able to participate in future seasons if the user is unblocked. If you are blocked while the name submissions are ongoing, the user will be automatically eliminated and their names disqualified.
Users must compete in one account only. If you try to participate in Hurricane Idol with alternate accounts or sockpuppets, you will get your names disqualified, and you may be removed from your position if you are a designer, moderator, judge, head judge, co-host, or host. You may also be excluded from participating in future seasons of Hurricane Idol.
The name submissions period started on February 26 and ended on March 5. The names can be submitted on this page's comment section or on the official Hurricane Idol Discord server. Names submitted after this date will not be accepted.

Congratulation to JNLT for winning this season of Hurricane Idol! As always, thank you to everyone who participated as well - this season wouldn't have continued without you! In what was potentially one of the longest-running seasons in the series, the name Enrique has won. This was my first season hosting and participating in any judge position or higher, and even though I tried my best to keep up, I want to make a personal apology for the slow-pace and stagnation of the season. I had frequently forgotten about it and thus failed to announce each part on time. Regardless, I had fun and I hope everyone participating did as well! In a few months, I will be reviewing the applications for the next season's host - until then, good luck and thank you all for a good season!
