8-12 March 2010 Hamilton, Bermuda, UK RA IV Hurricane Committee - Thirty-second session

The hurricane committee meets early this year...that is when we should know what names are retired (doubt there will be any, at least in the Atlantic - as long as Ida is not misrepresented), and what changes to the plans are made.

I decided instead of starting it now,do it beggining on March 1 to coincide with the start of the Storm2k poll that same day.

By the way, it's not the UK RA IV Hurricane Committee meeting; CrazyC83 was referring to Bermuda as part of the UK (which is politically incorrect; it is a self-governing overseas territory ruled by a Governor and not part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). It's just called the RA IV Hurricane Committee meeting.
