Storm names

[edit]

The following list of names has been used for named storms that form in the North Atlantic in 2020. As more than 21 named storms have occurred this season, storms that form after Wilfred will take names from the Greek alphabet. The 2020 season is only the second hurricane season ever to trigger this naming protocol (the first being the 2005 season). Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization during the joint 42nd and 43rd Sessions of the RA IV Hurricane Committee in the spring of 2021 (in concurrence with any names from the 2019 season).[1] The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2026 season. This is the same list used in the 2014 season, as no names were retired from that year. Isaias and all names from Paulette through Wilfred were used for the first time this year. Isaias and Paulette replaced Ike and Paloma, respectively, after 2008, but both names went unused in 2014. This is also only the second time storms have been assigned names that start with V and W in the Atlantic, with the first instances being Hurricane Vince and Hurricane Wilma in 2005.

Season effects

[edit]

This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2020 USD.
