Names consistently used for strong or weak storms

[Tekken_Guy]

What names are consistently used for storms that are strong or weak?

[CyclonicFury]

Kenneth: always Category 4

Ana: always a tropical storm (in the Atlantic)

[aspen]

H names in the WPac often seem to end up as absolute monsters when they occur between August and December — Haiyan, Hagupit, Hagibis, and Halong just to name a few.

In the Atlantic, Nicole was the only N storm to surpass Cat 1 strength.

Jerry was used for some very forgettable storms from 1995-2013

Ana obviously

Hermine And Beryl were never hurricanes until their most recent incarnations

Henri is never impressive

Colin and Fiona but they’ve only come twice

Bret with the exception of 99

Andrea has always been trash, same with Chantal

[aspen]

Josephine has never been significant either, and Hanna has never gotten stronger than a Cat 1 hurricane. I have a feeling there’s a good chance one or both of those names will break their trend because of the signs pointing towards an above-average year and that both names will likely occur during the peak of the season.

Chris is usually a weak ATL name. I think 2018 is the second time since 1982 it even managed to get to hurricane strength.

Chaba and Songda have been C4+ all three times each respective name has been used. Nida also broke a C5 streak in 2017.

94', 12', and 18'

Erin had three back to back uses at Cat 2 or higher (89/95/01) and then has been a weak tropical storm the most recent three.

Still a bit pathetic for a storm that comes up every six years since 1982

Very interesting question, so I quickly ran some code.

The first graphic shows the ACE per storm name (Atlantic, 1979-2020) for every name that has been used at least 4 times. The white numbers indicate how often exactly each name has been used. Note that the highest ACE/storm names all have 4s and 5s as, within a set of 4, a single high-ACE storm pulls the average up a lot more than in a sample set of 7.

Second graphic shows the max wind of the strongest storm with a certain name. So, for example, the strongest Ana only reached 60kts, whereas the strongest Fabian got up to 125kts.

Third graphic shows the max wind of the weakest storm with a certain name. Meaning that every storm with that name reached at least the shown wind speed. For example, every Irene got to 90kts.

And, by the way, here's the ACE per storm graphic grouped by first letters. Easy to notice the "I peak".

Edit: In case anyone is wondering why there are 43 As and Bs in 42 years, that's because I didn't put the greek names from 2005 into separate categories.

Darby has been a cat 3 for each of the last 4 times.

The “one and dones” deserve their own category
