The purpose of this template is to provide a consistent color scheme for tropical cyclones based on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the classifications used by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers in cyclone basins other than the Atlantic and NE Pacific, and North American winter storms rated on the Regional Snowfall Index (RSI) scale.
The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, assigns a numerical classification of hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. The scale spans from Category 1 (winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 km/h)) to Category 5 (exceeding 156 miles per hour (251 km/h)).
Klotzbach's team, formerly led by Gray, determined the average number of storms per season between 1950 and 2000 to be 9.6 tropical storms, 5.9 hurricanes, and 2.3 major hurricanes (storms exceeding Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale). A normal season, as defined by NOAA, has 9 to 12 named storms, of which 5 to 7 reach hurricane ...

What storm comes next after Hurricane Milton? What we learned about how storms are named. How hurricanes and tropical storms get their names: Who names them and why?
The decade featured Hurricane Andrew, which at the time was the costliest hurricane on record, and also Hurricane Mitch, which is considered to be the deadliest tropical cyclone to have its name retired, killing over 11,000 people in Central America. A total of 15 names were retired in this decade, seven during the 1995 and 1996 seasons.
The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired from the lists, with a replacement name selected at the next meeting of the Hurricane Committee. [1] If all of the names on the annual name list are used, any additional tropical or subtropical storms will receive a name from a supplemental list. [1]
