The hurricane names designated for the 2027 Atlantic hurricane season are Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Elsa, Fred, Grace, Henri, Imani, Julian, Kate, Larry, Mindy, Nicholas, Odette, Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor, and Wanda.
Understanding Hurricane Naming Conventions
Hurricane naming follows a predefined system established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to help in clear communication and to prevent confusion during tropical storm events. Lists of names are created for each ocean basin, and for the Atlantic basin, six lists are rotated every six years. This means the list of names used in 2021, for example, will be used again in 2027, unless any names are retired due to a storm causing significant casualties or damage.
2027 Atlantic Hurricane Names
The following table lists the complete set of names prepared for the 2027 Atlantic hurricane season:
| Order | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ana |
| 2 | Bill |
| 3 | Claudette |
| 4 | Danny |
| 5 | Elsa |
| 6 | Fred |
| 7 | Grace |
| 8 | Henri |
| 9 | Imani |
| 10 | Julian |
| 11 | Kate |
| 12 | Larry |
| 13 | Mindy |
| 14 | Nicholas |
| 15 | Odette |
| 16 | Peter |
| 17 | Rose |
| 18 | Sam |
| 19 | Teresa |
| 20 | Victor |
| 21 | Wanda |
These names are used alphabetically as tropical storms develop throughout the season. If more than 21 named storms occur in a season, a supplemental list of names is used, rather than the Greek alphabet which was discontinued after the 2020 season.
