The World Met Organization’s Hurricane Committee has retired the names Beryl, Helene and Milton from its Atlantic basin list.

The name John has also been retired in the eastern Pacific basin.

The decision follows the death and destruction caused by these storms in 2024.

Hurricane Beryl was the earliest Atlantic basin Category-5 hurricane on record, with major impacts in the Caribbean.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused catastrophic damage in the United States, while Hurricane John triggered deadly and extended flooding in the Mexican state of Guerrero.

The names Brianna, Holly and Miguel were selected as replacements in the Atlantic basin, and Jake in the eastern Pacific.
