Practice How storms are named Have you ever wondered how those big ocean storms called hurricanes or typhoons get their names? Who decides to name a hurricane “Ann” or “Barbara” or “Bill”? The way hurricanes and typhoons are named has changed over the years and is an interesting story.
(first, initially, originally) weather forecasters described them by their position in degrees of latitude and longitude (in addition, for example, since) a typhoon might be called “21.20 north, 157.52 west” (then, however, moreover) this method was confusing because storms don’t stay in the same place (thus, therefore, in conclusion) people developed other ways to identify them. In the Caribbean Ocean, hurricanes were named for the Catholic saint’s days. (Therefore, For example, Moreover) a hurricane that struck an island in the Caribbean on Saint Ann’s Day was named “Santa Ana.”
A weather forecaster in Australia used to name typhoons after politicians whom he disliked. (Because, For example, However) he could make weather forecasts such as “Typhoon Smith is on very destructive path” or “Typhoon Jones is very weak and us not moving in any direction.” (in addition, later as a result) during World War I, hurricanes and typhoons were named according to the military alphabet: Able , Baker, Charlie, etc. (later, although) during World War II, women’s name began to be used for the next thirty-five years. Weather forecasters talked about “Typhoon Alice” or “Hurricane Betsy.”
(however, then , in addition) in the 1970s, the women’s liberation movement came along and forced weather forecasters to use men’s name , too. (thus, for example, finally), after about 1975, a storm could be named “Gertrude” or” George.” • (in conclusion, so, as a result) the way hurricanes and typhoons are named has changed over the years and will undoubtedly change again.
