Four names have been removed from the lists of hurricane names maintained by the World Meteorological Organization. Beryl, Helene and Milton have been retired from the Atlantic hurricane name list, while John was retired from the Pacific list.

Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.
