How are the typhoons named each year?

Experts say that as early as the 18th century, Australian meteorologists had a whim and began to name typhoons with female names as a kind of honor or commemoration, giving them to their girlfriends, beloved wives or recipients. A cold shoulder for politicians. This practice quickly became popular in European and American countries. In 1949, the first hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean was named Harry because when the hurricane hit Florida, US President Harris. Truman was inspecting there; soon, another crazier hurricane swept through Florida, and people respectfully called her the president's wife "Bess." One year during the typhoon season, two typhoons jumped out of the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, named "Alice" and "Barbara" respectively. The two little sisters caused an unprecedented flood. As a result, the movement against naming typhoons with female names surged, with letters and calls almost overwhelming the press and the weather bureau. Despite this, stubborn meteorologists persisted in this practice, and many countries continued to use it until the late 1970s. Hurricane Cecil in 1979 was the first typhoon in U.S. history to be named after a man.

Interestingly, the names of typhoons currently used in the Western Pacific still rarely have the meaning of disaster, and most of them have the meaning of elegance and peace, such as jasmine, rose, pearl, lotus, colorful clouds, etc. It seems that It is not very coordinated with the typhoon disaster. Relevant experts believe that typhoons not only bring violent storms, but sometimes also benefit mankind. During the hot summer season, the arrival of typhoons can relieve drought and heat, so it doesn't hurt to give it an elegant name. However, the Typhoon Committee has other regulations. If a certain typhoon really commits a heinous crime, the relevant members can apply for a name change, thus nailing this devil to the shame shelf in the history of disasters forever.
