The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has announced the Atlantic Tropical Cyclones names for 2023.
A supplemental list of names A-Z (excluding Q, U, X, Y and Z) will be used if the standard tropical storm name is exhausted in the Atlantic basin.
NOAA does not name tropical storms; rather, there is a strict procedure established by the World Meteorological Organization. For Atlantic systems, there is a list of male and female names, which are used on a six-year rotation.
The 2023 cyclone names are as follows in alphabetical order:
Arlene
Bret
Cindy

Franklin
Gert

Idalia
Jose
Katia
Lee
Margot
