Geneva (AFP) Mar 20, 2024

The World Meteorological Organization on Wednesday said it had withdrawn Otis and Dora from the list of northeast Pacific hurricane names due to their roles in destructive extreme weather events. Otilio and Debora will replace the disused names in the rotating list, overseen by the WMO and set up to facilitate public communication about the potentially fatal risks associated with hurricanes.
