2025 Tropical Cyclone Name Retirements (Including but not limited to the Atlantic Basin)

[ljmac75]

Slightly off-topic perhaps, but the Hurricane Committee docs this year include a sort of proposal on name retirement criteria, I think particularly for smaller countries. Ideas like having consideration for hurricanes doing damage equal to specific percentages of a country's GDP, certain numbers of fatalities, if the storm caused a "humanitarian crisis" etc. I don't want to misrepresent it, so I don't want to put too many details without a working link. There's some other stuff there, a new experimental ellipsis based cone product, some ideas for extending hurricane warnings based on frequent gusts to hurricane force like in Helene, they're doing good work.
