Why no hurricanes with the letter j?

Answer 1

There are. It's probably just a matter of luck that tropical storms and hurricanes with names beginning in J have not become well-known. Here are the ones in the Atlantic from the past 10 years: Jose (2005, 2011) Julia (2010), Josephine (2002, 2008), Jerry (2001, 2007), Jeanne (2004), and Juan (2003). All of these names have been used to name tropical storms, though not all of them became hurricanes.
