Supplemental List of Tropical Cyclone Names in RAIV

Table of Contents

The Regional Association IV (RAIV) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) oversees the naming of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific basins. A supplemental list is used as a backup if the primary list of names is exhausted during an exceptionally active hurricane season.

Below is the official supplemental list of tropical cyclone names for both the Atlantic and Pacific basins:

Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Names

  • Adria
  • Braylen
  • Caridad
  • Deshawn
  • Emery
  • Foster
  • Gemma
  • Heath
  • Isla
  • Jacobus
  • Kenzie
  • Lucio
  • Makayla
  • Nolan
  • Orlando
  • Pax
  • Ronin
  • Sophie
  • Tayshaun
  • Viviana
  • Will

Pacific Tropical Cyclone Names

  • Aidan
  • Bruna
  • Carmelo
  • Daniella
  • Esteban
  • Flor
  • Gerardo
  • Hedda
  • Izzy

  • Nancy
  • Ovidio
  • Pia
  • Rey
  • Skylar
  • Teo
  • Violeta
  • Wilfredo

This approach helps improve communication, clarity, and public awareness during an overly active hurricane season.
