= List of named storms
{wiki=List_of_named_storms}
The term "List of named storms" typically refers to a compilation of tropical cyclones that have been assigned official names during a given hurricane season or over multiple seasons. Naming storms helps facilitate communication and reduce confusion, especially when multiple storms occur simultaneously. Tropical storms and hurricanes are given names from a pre-determined list that varies by region. For example, the Atlantic hurricane season uses names from six rotating lists maintained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
