I understand that "Larry" will be followed not by an "M____" name by by "Wati"?

How do you name cyclones and how do you keep track of them. How long is your cyclone season?

I thought they were named by who ever sights it first in the Met office...

This might give you a clue - Noddy:

When did the naming of cyclones begin?

Margo--

Many thanks. Australia was four years ahead of the States in allowing for tempestous men to be immortalized!

I said it somewhere else but 'Wati' was the name given to it by the Fijians - they get the honour because they detected it first or it started in their waters I guess....
