Donna Demaio: Australia Correspondent on the Bureau of Meteorology renaming the next tropical storm

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Australia’s next tropical cyclone is getting a name change.   Cyclone Zeila’s dissipation has brought the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to the end of an alphabetical list, alternating by gender.  The next cyclone was due to be named Anthony, but since Anthony Albanese is the current Prime Minister, the decision was made to jump to the next a-initial on the list.  Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Andrew Dickens that when the name matches that of a prominent person, they reorder the name to avoid confusion.   She says the next name will be Alfred.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
