A new extratropical storm season is expected to begin in Europe at the end of summer. The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) published a new list this Monday. Aitor, Berenice, Caetano, Dorotea, Enol, Floriana, Garoe, Herminia, Ivo, Jana, Conrad, Laurence, Martinho, Nuria, Olivier, Pauline, Rüdiger, Salma, Timofey, Wanda, Wolfgang, There are 21 storm names that could occur in 2024/25.
According to IPMA, storm naming criteria are related to their impacts and the issuance of orange or red alerts in the International Weather Warning System. The primary meteorological parameter that determines a storm’s name is wind, but hurricanes may be assigned other parameters if their impacts are likely to be severe.
The country that issues the first warning is responsible for assigning a name to the hurricane according to a previously established list and informing other participating countries, which must retain the name.
A tropical storm forming in the Atlantic Ocean and named by the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) will retain its original name if it undergoes a transformation in its characteristics and becomes an extratropical storm.
Storm naming is a joint project of European meteorological services under the auspices of the EUMETNET network, which brings together 33 European meteorological services. Portugal, through IPMA, belongs to the “southwest group”, which includes the meteorological services of Spain (AEMET), France (Météo-France), Belgium (RMI) and Luxembourg (MeteoLux).
