Next Atlantic Tropical Storm to Be Named Dolly, Unrelated to Dolly Parton
The next Atlantic tropical storm is expected to be named Dolly, following the World Meteorological Organisation's established naming system, which cycles names every six years and alternates between male and female. Forecasters are monitoring a weather system off Africa that could develop into Tropical Storm Dolly if sustained winds reach 39 mph. This naming coincides with the recent death of singer Dolly Parton but is unrelated. The 2024 hurricane season is predicted to be below average due to El Nino.
