Eastern Pacific Tropical Storm and Hurricane Names

Livestream footage of rainfall from Tropical Storm Henri at GWC in South Plainfield, NJ on August 22, 2021.

When a tropical storm, or hurricane develops, it is assigned a name by the National Hurricane Center This is so that these particular systems can be identified and explained easily to the people who may be affected by them during the course of a hurricane season.

The naming of tropical storms and hurricanes began in 1953 when the National Weather Service gave the storms female names. Then in 1979, to go along with the times, the National Hurricane Center began to issue both male and female names.

Below is a rotating list of Eastern Pacific storm names over a six year cycle. This list is recycled every six years unless a storm or hurricane name is retired.
