THE first tropical cyclone to develop in Australian waters this season will be named Imogen.
However, if a cyclone develops in international waters and is named by another jurisdiction, it will retain its foreign name.
Names of new tropical cyclones are selected according to a list with the Bureau of Meteorology, with names chosen in alphabetical sequence, alternating between male and female names.
If a particular tropical cyclone has had a significant impact, that name is usually retired from the list and a replacement name is selected.
