World Meteorological Organization Retires Names of Devastating 2024 Hurricanes

Beryl, Helene, and Milton are replaced on the Atlantic hurricane name list after causing over 300 deaths and $119 billion in damages.

The World Meteorological Organization has retired the names Beryl, Helene, and Milton due to their catastrophic impacts during the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricane Helene was the deadliest and most expensive, causing 249 deaths and $78.7 billion in damages, primarily from inland flooding in the Carolinas.
Hurricane Beryl set a record as the earliest Category 5 storm in the Atlantic, causing 68 deaths and significant damage in the Caribbean and Texas.
Hurricane Milton caused $34.3 billion in damages and over 40 deaths, primarily in Florida, before dissipating in the Atlantic.
The names Brianna, Holly, and Miguel will replace Beryl, Helene, and Milton in the rotating six-year list of Atlantic hurricane names.
