With 2022 days left before the start of the 100 hurricane season, it's still too early to tell what the season will be like, but here's what we've learned.

Officials have released a list of names you may hear from our meteorologists this year:

• Alex
• Bonnie
• Colin
• Daniel
• Earl
• Fiona
• Gaston
• Hermini
• Yang
• Julia
• Charles
• Lisa
• Martin
• Nicole
• Owen
• Paula
• Richard
• Shari
• Tobias
• Virginia
• Voltaire

The WMO decided to drop the names Matthew and Otto from the 2016 hurricane season and replace them with Martin and Owen.

Also of interest in this list of names is the first storm, Alex. In 2016, Alex formed in January, which is extremely rare. Before that was 1954-1955, when we last saw the storm in January, it was named Alice.

Colorado State University is expected to release its first-season forecast on April 7, and the National Hurricane Center is expected to release its official forecast in May.

Last year's hurricane season ended as the 3rd busiest on record. The entire list of names has been exhausted in a very busy season. Fortunately, there have been hurricanes in Florida with only three named systems—Elsa, Fred, and Mindy—which mostly brought rain with tropical storm strength winds.

We last used this year's list in 2016 with two replacements. The annual lists are repeated every 6 years, but every year the World Meteorological Organization can remove and replace the names of especially destructive, deadly storms, reports WFLA.

Early storms sparked discussion about moving the hurricane season a few weeks earlier, but this was ultimately abandoned.

If it seems like we're seeing more named storms than we're used to, then we are! One of the reasons we see so many named systems, especially the weaker ones that don't affect anyone, is the great progress in satellite technology. Scientists now have a much better idea of ​​storms thousands of miles away to determine if it meets the criteria for naming.
