What is a Tropical Storm?
A tropical storm is a type of tropical cyclone. This is a big, spinning storm system that forms over warm ocean waters. Tropical storms have strong winds and heavy rain. They are not as strong as hurricanes, but they can still cause a lot of damage.
How Tropical Storms Get Their Names
Tropical storms and hurricanes are named to help people track them and talk about them easily. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) creates lists of names. These lists are used over and over again. If a storm causes a lot of damage or deaths, its name might be retired, meaning it won't be used again. This is done to avoid upsetting people who were affected by the storm.
