The Atlantic Hurricane Season starts on June 1st and ends after November 30th. You can check the status of storms with the Environment Canada Hurricane Centre.
Every year, a list of names for the tropical storms and hurricanes are pre-selected to help meteorologists, media, emergency managers, and the public communicate clearly about which storm is being tracked.
Storm names are reused every 6 years on a rotating list except when a hurricane causes significant loss of life or damage, then the name is retired. For example, Hurricane Katrina & Hurricane Dorian are both retired. A powerful storm name could be used again if it’s impact was not as serious.
Below is the list for 2026 – hopefully, we won’t need many of them!
