How do hurricanes get their names? A look at the naming process and 2023's full list of storms
CBSN
The first day of the Atlantic hurricane season was June 1, and the first hurricane that hits in 2023 will be named Arlene. All of the hurricanes that hit this year will already have a predetermined name.
The names given to hurricanes are pretty much already set. There are six alphabetical lists of names for Atlantic hurricanes, maintained by the World Meteorological Organization, and they are rotated through every six years. Therefore, the 2023 list that starts with Arlene and ends with Whitney will be used again in 2029.
