Notes

• September 16, 1950 - Hurricane Fox is mentioned in the press.
• 1951 Season&Nbsp;- The naming scheme worked well with names regularly used in the press and accepted by the public.
• 1952 Season - The naming scheme runs into problems as a new phonetic alphabet has been developed, which leads to arguments over which phonetic alphabet to use. Storm 3 called both Charlie and Coco.
• 1953 - The Joint Hurricane Warning Conference decided to adopt a list of female names in order to settle the dispute about which phonetic alphabet to use. The names selected were: Alice, Barbara, Carol, Dolly, Edna, Florence, Gail, Hazel, Irene, Jill, Katherine, Lucy, Mabel, Norma, Orpha, Patsy, Queen, Rachel, Susie, Tina, Una, Vicky, Wallis. Only 23 names were selected as 1933 was at the time only thought to have had 21 storms.
• 1955 Interdepartmental hurricane conference - The
• 1956 - The Joint Hurricane Warning Conference selected the names Anna, Betsy, Carla, Dora, Ethel, Flossy, Greta, Hattie, Inez, Judith, Kitty, Laura, Molly, Nona, Odette, Paula, Quenby, Rhoda, Sadie, Terese, Ursel, Vesta, Winny, Xina, Yola and Zenda to be used during the 1956 Atlantic hurricane season.

• December 20, 1957 - The United States Weather Bureau reported that the names Alma, Becky, Cleo, Daisy, Ella, Fifi, Gerda, Helene, Ilsa, Janice, Katy, Lila, Milly, Nola, Orchid, Portia, Queeny, Rena, Sherry, Thora, Udele, Virgy, Wilna, Xrae, Yurith and Zorna had been selected to be used during the 1958 Atlantic hurricane season.

• December 31, 1958 - The United States Weather Bureau reported that the names Arlene, Beulah, Cindy, Debra, Edith, Flora, Gracie, Hannah, Irene, Judith, Kristy, Lois, Marsha, Nellie, Orpha, Penny, Quella, Rachel, Sophie, Tanya, Udele, Vicky, Wilma, Xcel, Yasmin and Zasu had been selected to be used during the 1959 Atlantic hurricane season.

• 1960 - Four sets of female names were introduced and used on a rotational basis.

• 1962 - The first national hurricane operational plan is published.
• 1965 - Shortly after the season had begun, it was decided to start rotating the names on an annual basis.
• 1966 - Four alphabetical lists of female names were introduced.
• January 30 - February 1, 1967 - The USWB proposed at the 1967 Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference that Debra be deleted from the list for 1963 and replaced with Doria on the list of names for 1967.
• January 30 - February 1, 1967 - The USWB proposed at the 1967 Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference that Faith be deleted from the list for 1966 and replaced with Francella on the list of names for 1970.
• January 15 - 17, 1969 - The Environmental Science Services Administration proposed that the name Inez should be retired.
• January 15 - 17, 1969 - The Environmental Science Services Administration proposed that the names Carol, Edna, and Hazel be permanently retired because of their importance to the research community.
• 1971 Interdepartmental hurricane conference - Roxcy Bolton petitioned the naming committee to stop using women’s names, however, NHC argued that it had a response of 20:1 in favour of using women’s names.
• 1971 - The four lists of names are expanded out to ten separate lists of names which were designed to be used on a rotational basis.

• 1971 Interdepartmental hurricane conference - Roxcy Bolton petitioned the naming committee to stop using women’s names, however, NHC argued that it had a response of 20:1 in favour of using women’s names.
• 1972 Interdepartmental hurricane conference - Roxcy Bolton petitioned the naming committee to stop using women’s names and suggested that they use congressmen names instead and that hurricanes be called him-i-canes.
• 1973 Interdepartmental hurricane conference - Roxcy Bolton petitioned the naming committee to stop using women’s names.
• April - May 1977 - At its 7th session, the WMO's Regional Association IV noted the need for a well-coordinated hurricane warning system for the region and decided to establish the RA IV Hurricane Committee. They also suggested that the committee should discuss the naming of hurricanes at its first session, with an eye to including names that were simple and easily pronounceable within the region as well as male and female names from the Dutch, English, Spanish and French languages.

• 1978 - At its first session the WMO RA IV Hurricane Committee reviewed the lists of hurricane names for both the Atlantic (1979-1983) and the Eastern Pacific (1978-1981) and added them to its operational plan.
• 1979 - At its second session the WMO RA IV Hurricane Committee proposed that the lists be rotated every five years, with the exception of names that acquired special notoriety would be withdrawn from the lists and replaced.
• March 24 - 28, 1980 - At its third session the WMO RA IV Hurricane Committee retires the names David and Frederick.
• 1982 - Two additional lists of names were introduced for the Eastern Pacific so that the naming lists were repeated every six years.
• 1986&Nbsp;- I would love to read the final report of the WMO Hurricane Committee and Interdepartmental Hurricane conference from this year, as it is probably where the usage of the Greek Alphabet was formalised.

• April 4 - 10, 1995 - At the Seventeenth session of the RA IV Hurricane Committee, Dr Robert Sheets noted that the hurricane committee would run out of hurricane names, if the committee continued its present scheme of name retirement. As a result, he requested that guidelines for the retirement of names to be drawn up and presented to the next meeting of the Hurricane Committee.

• April 26 - May 1, 1996 - At the eighteenth session of the RA IV Hurricane Committee, the committee reviewed and concurred with the updated guidelines for the retirement of names. They decided that the request for the retirement of a name should have the agreement of the hurricane committee and would be because of direct effects of the wind, flooding and/or storm surge.

• September 2020 - The seasonal list of Atlantic Hurricane Names is used up for the second time and Greek Names have to be used again.
• March 2021 - The WMO revises the contingency plan for when the seasonal list of names is used up and introduces a new contingency plan of a secondary list of names.
