Analysis: How tropical cyclones receive their names

Описание: Sky News Weather Meteorologist Rob Sharpe says the Bureau of Meteorology began naming tropical cyclones in 1963 in a bid to reduce confusion and raise awareness if multiple cyclones were active.

The names are chosen from a pre-approved list which alternates between male and female names from letters A to Z.

If a cyclone is named by a country neighbouring Australia, the system keeps the name when it enters Australian waters.
