WPF Tropical Cyclone Name Trivia: The next international name - TopicsExpress



          

WPF Tropical Cyclone Name Trivia: The next international name to be used this 2014 is HAGUPIT (#HAGUPIT), a name contributed by our country, the Philippines...a tagalog word for lash or flog. The name will be initiated once it reaches Tropical Storm classification. The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) of the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is the one responsible in naming it and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is the assigned RSMC here in our region. As for the local name (which is issued by our weather bureau, PAGASA), the next in line will be known as RUBY (#RubyPH). RUBY is a new local name on the list, where it was formerly named REMING in 2006. But due to its great devastation in the Bicol Region, the latter was replaced and retired from the list.
