This is a list of all Atlantic hurricanes that have had their names retired. Hurricane names are retired by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in a meeting in March or April of each year. Those hurricanes that have their names retired tend to be exceptionally destructive storms that often become household names in the regions they affected. Since the naming of storms using human names began in 1953, an average of one storm name has been retired for each season, though many seasons have had no storm names retired, and after the 2005 season, five names were retired. Atlantic hurricane refers to a tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, usually in the Northern Hemisphere summer or autumn. ... The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is an intergovernmental organization with a membership of 187 Member States and Territories. ... The 1953 Atlantic hurricane season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. ... The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, shattering previous records on repeated occasions. ...

Storm names are retired following a request made at the March or April WMO meeting by one or more of the countries affected by a hurricane. While no request for retirement has ever been turned down, some storms such as Hurricane Gordon caused a great deal of death and destruction but nonetheless were not retired as the main country affected did not request retirement. Hurricane Gordon was the seventh named tropical storm and third hurricane of the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season. ...

General information

Theoretically, a hurricane or tropical storm of any strength can have its name retired; retirement is based entirely on the level of damage caused by a storm. However, until 1972, no Category 1 hurricane had had its name retired, and no named tropical storm had its name retired until 2001. This is partially due to the fact that weaker storms tend to cause less damage. Since 1954, only four Category 5 hurricanes have not had their names retired - one never approached land, one weakened to a tropical storm before landfall and two were overlooked despite making landfall as major hurricanes (one as a Category 5). First storm formed: May 23, 1972 Last storm dissipated: Nov. ...

Since 1953, 63 storms have had their names retired. Of these, two (Carol and Edna) were reused after the storm for which they were retired but were later retroactively retired, and two others (Hilda and Janet) were included on later lists of storm names but were not reused before being retroactively retired. Hurricane Carol was a Category 2 hurricane that battered New England during the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season. ... Hurricane Edna was a Category 3 hurricane that hugged the east coast before striking New England in mid-September, 1954. ...

Lists of retired names

Listed by intensity

This lists all retired hurricanes by their peak intensity, which is determined by measurements of the minimum central pressure. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a scale classifying most Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones that exceed the levels of tropical depression and tropical storm and thereby become hurricanes. ... Pressure (symbol: p) is the force per unit area acting on a surface in a direction perpendicular to that surface. ...

Hurricane Gilbert at its peak intensity. Hurricane Gilbert was the second-most intense Atlantic hurricane.

While the intensity of tropical cyclones is measured solely by central pressure, wind speeds are also estimated; the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is used in the Atlantic basin to rank hurricanes according to their strongest 1-minute sustained winds. While most hurricanes do not make landfall at their peak intensity, they are often referred to by their strongest Saffir-Simpson Category rather than by their landfall Category.

Of the storms in the Atlantic whose names have been retired, one peaked as a tropical storm, four peaked as Category 1 hurricanes, four peaked as Category 2 hurricanes, twelve peaked as Category 3 hurricanes, twenty-eight peaked as Category 4 hurricanes and eighteen peaked as Category 5 hurricanes. Many storms of high intensities have not had their names retired because they did not make landfall (such as Hurricane Karl), because they made landfall in an area where they could do very little damage (such as Hurricane Bret), because they weakened dramatically before making landfall (such as Hurricane Ethel) or were simply overlooked (such as Hurricane Emily). However, since the introduction of name retirement, only four Category 5 hurricanes have not had their names retired.

Hurricane names are generally retired for one of two reasons, either because they were particularly damaging or particularly deadly (a small number of retired storms were both).

Hurricane Jeanne was the tenth named storm, the seventh hurricane, and the fifth major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. ...

Hurricane names are generally retired for one of two reasons, either because they were particularly damaging or particularly deadly. While many damaging storms caused little loss of life, most deadly storms also caused heavy damage.

Most storms cause fatalities not by their high winds but rather through flooding - either storm surge or inland flooding due to rainfall. Storm surge has the highest potential for deaths; with modern forecasting, warning, and evacuation storm surge deaths can be almost eliminated, but the potential is still very high for catastrophe in places where warning systems are not in place or if warnings are ignored. Inland flooding, by contrast, is unpredictable because it depends heavily on a hurricane's interaction with the terrain and with other nearby weather systems. ...

Because of uncertainty in the death toll, an exact ordering of storms is not always possible.

In the below list, the retired hurricanes are listed in chronological order with their landfall locations listed under columns designating their strength on the Saffir-Simpson Scale at the time of landfall. Within a cell, landfalls are listed in chronological order. Two retired hurricanes, Hurricane Klaus and Hurricane Fabian, never made landfall anywhere at any intensity. They are omitted from this list. Some retired systems also made landfall as tropical depressions, but depressions were not reliably tracked until the 1990s and so their landfalls are omitted as well. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a scale classifying hurricanes by the intensity of their sustained winds, developed in 1969 by civil engineer Herbert Saffir and National Hurricane Center director Bob Simpson. ...
