named storm
Titled tropical system
A named storm is a tropical cyclone that has reached sufficient intensity to receive an official name from meteorological authorities.
Naming storms helps track them and communicate warnings to the public.
The practice began in the mid-20th century, initially using only female names before adopting alternating male and female names.
