Hurricane Milton refers to a specific tropical cyclone that occurred during the Atlantic hurricane season. Like other hurricanes, it is characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and the potential for significant damage. The name “Milton” is part of a rotating list of names used by the World Meteorological Organization for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. Each name is reused every six years unless the storm is particularly deadly or costly, in which case the name may be retired. Hurricanes like Milton are classified based on their wind speed, with sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour) categorizing them as hurricanes. These storms can significantly impact coastal areas, causing flooding, storm surge, and other destructive effects.
