Fiona and Ian retired

Unsurprisingly, both Ian and Fiona have been retired as Atlantic storm names. They are replaced by Farrah and Idris for the 2028 season.

What happens if you run out of names for hurricanes? The Greek Alphabet after the W name (Wilfred for 2020)

[Update for 2021 and beyond]: Before 2021, the Greek alphabet is used, since 2021, the World Meteorological Organization provides an alternate list. Why did they do this? Probably to give someone some work to do and give the WMO more of a purpose.
