Beryl, Helene and Milton have been retired from the Atlantic hurricane name list, while John was retired from the Pacific list. Brianna, Holly, Miguel and Jake will take their places. The names were retired because they were so deadly.

Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

The WMO Hurricane Committee has retired the names Beryl, Helene and Milton from its Atlantic basin name list and John from the eastern Pacific basin name list because of the death and destruction these storms caused in 2024. https://t.co/zO7Ck65eyM pic.twitter.com/PqRL43kOGY
