On the history of the earliest naming of typhoons

1. At first, all typhoons had no names. Naming typhoons after women was a whim of Australian meteorologists in the18th century. The motive is not clear. Perhaps it is an honor, a memorial, given to his girlfriend, his beloved wife or a neglected politician. European and American countries have followed suit.

2. One of them is an American meteorologist who named the typhoon as a political figure he didn't like to make fun of; 1949 The first hurricane named "Harry" in the Atlantic Ocean was because when it hit Florida, American President Harris Truman was inspecting here.

3. Soon, an even crazier hurricane swept through Florida. This time, people nicknamed it "Beth", the President's wife. Since then, it seems that many countries have a tradition of naming typhoons after women, and many countries insisted on using women's naming methods until the end of 1970s.
