After an extremely active and deadly 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, the World Meteorological Organization is retiring the names of three particularly devastating storms that broke records and made history: Beryl, Helene and Milton.

The name "Helene" has officially been retired from the list of Atlantic tropical storm and hurricane names, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Wednesday officially replaced the names of the trio of 2024 storms that killed more than 300 people and caused more than $119 billion in damage.

The World Meteorological Organization has retired the names Beryl, Helene and Milton because of the death and destruction these storms caused in 2024.

Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Beryl were so nasty last year that their names are being retired. The World Meteorological Organization on Wednesday officially replaced the names of the trio of 2024 storms that killed more than 300 people and caused more than $119 billion in damage.

These hurricanes of 2024 were either so destructive and/or deadly that an international committee retired their names from use in future hurricanes. That's happened many times in the past 70-plus years.

Typically, names are repeated every six years. But once a hurricane becomes deadly, the name is retired from the list.

The World Meteorological Organization has announced that they have retired three names from their hurricane names list.

About 100 names of tropical storms and hurricanes have been retired from future use in the Atlantic Ocean, and now Beryl, Helene and Milton join them.
