We have two contenders already for the first named hurricane of the season.

Feel free to discuss (mostly Atlantic, but the rest of you are welcome as well).

The idea was around since the 50s and apparently it wouldn't work. Hurricanes actually beat nukes.

Project Cirrus in '47 was a bit of a shitshow from the sound of it. They flew a B-17 and dumped dry ice into the clouds, which allegedly caused the hurricane to change direction and head inland, causing destruction and lawsuits. After that in the 60s and 70s they were able to get some more predictable results by cloud seeding with silver iodide. Don't think they actually used nukes at any point though.
 
Just remember to watch out for members of certain families stealing your stuff if your area is hit with bad weather.

Duggars MEDIC Corps Hurricane Dorian Bahamas relief efforts suspect?

The Duggar and Bates families are under scrutiny for their Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas through their MEDIC Corps corporation after another volunteer accuses them of questionable tactics. The allegations were accompanied by photos of John David Duggar and Lawson Bates carrying...

Here are the official names of storms

Because 2020 had so many storms, they decided to use these back-up names.

Hmm...notice the difference?
 
Well I mean like 20-30 years ago they did start adding Hispanic names into the hurricane name list because most of the people dying were poor Centroamericano peasants, so it makes sense we get some hood names in the hurricane list just like the jokes would always say.

Oh lawdy they's a comin'! Hide yo kids hide yo TV!

2020 had so many storms because they changed the classification for naming storms a while back. Used to be a hurricane had to be sustained at cat 1 (ideally with a well-formed eye) for a day before it got a name. Now any tropical low that lasts more than a day gets a name, regardless of strength and cloud formation. It's a scam to make the numbers look bigger, despite the fact that hurricanes have little to no trend in strength or number over the last 40 or so years.

A name is given when a Tropical Depression becomes a Tropical Storm (sustained winds of 39+ MPH). It has been like that for as long as I can remember. The only change I have noticed is instead of calling a tropical cyclone with winds 38 or under a "tropical depression" it seems now the media calls it "potential tropical cyclone" (Which makes no sense as a tropical depression is still a cyclone).

I recall a change in the mid 10s to when a name was applied to a storm, before which tropical storms only got a name once they reached sustained winds of 33 m/s, but I cannot find a single shred of evidence for it. Very annoying. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I do know the Met office gives a name to every light breeze across the Irish Sea these days...

You might be thinking of when some US Media outlets (The Weather Channel) decided they should start naming winter storms (against the wishes of the US National Weather Service) The Weather Channel started this is the November 2012 Nor'easter (which is a type of extratropical cyclone that hits New England and Atlantic Canada), The two most notable examples of a Nor'easter would the the 1991 "Perfect Storm" and the already mentioned 2012 November Nor'easter that hit the same areas in New England days after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.
