How many hurricanes came and names from 1945-2007?

Answer 1

A system is given a name when it attains tropical storm or subtropical storm status. The names go in alphabetical order. So for example, if there is a hurricane called hurricane Allen, ( like there was in the past ) the next storm in that basin in that year will go to B, like hurricane Bonnie. However letters not commonly used in names may be excluded. In the Atlantic Ocean the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used. In the eastern Pacific basin Q and U are not used. Each year has a list of names that is recycled every six years. This gives a total of 270 names on that system. A somewhat different system is used for Central Pacific hurricanes which uses 12 names ber year on a 4 year cycle giving a total of 48, bringing the total For hurricane names to 318. In other parts of the world the storms we call hurricanes go by different names such as typhoons. The generic term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. Other basins total to to 523 names, manning that, in total, there are 841 currently available tropical cyclone names. When a storm in bad enough it has its name replaced. And the retired name is, in most cases, never used to name a future storm.

Answer 2

Hurricanes have probably been happening for billions of years; we cannot begin to guess which of the tectonic or climactic changes over the eons have provided the impetus for tropical storms.

But over the past 150 years or so, there have been five or six "official" hurricanes each season on average. Would that number have been higher or lower during the hundreds of thousands of years of ice ages? Probably fewer, but who can know?

If I had to pick a number, I'd guess between 10 billion and 15 billion hurricanes since the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago.

Hurricanes are believed to be caused by hot air from Africa mixing with cold air over the North Atlantic. Although the Sahara Desert was foliated in ancient times. the natives of America were well acquainted with hurricanes before the first explorers from Europe arrived. In any case, there is no way to know exactly when hurricanes began or count exactly how many of them have occurred.
