List of storms named Isis
Appearance
The name Isis was used for six tropical cyclones worldwide: five in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and one in the South-West Indian Ocean.
In the Eastern Pacific Ocean:
- Hurricane Isis (1980) — a Category 2 hurricane that paralleled the coast of Mexico but did not affect any land areas.
- Tropical Storm Isis (1986) — a short-lived tropical storm which stayed at sea.
- Tropical Storm Isis (1992) — a strong tropical storm that remained in the open ocean.
- Hurricane Isis (1998) — a short-lived Category 1 hurricane which became the only landfalling hurricane during the 1998 season, killing 14 in Mexico.
- Hurricane Isis (2004) — a Category 1 hurricane that affected no land areas.
The name Isis was removed from the Eastern Pacific's naming list in 2015 — due to its association with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which was abbreviated as ISIS by global mass media in the mid-2010s rather than Isis after an Ancient Egyptian goddess. It was replaced by Ivette for the 2016 season.
In the South-West Indian Ocean:
- Severe Tropical Storm Isis (1973) – a relatively strong tropical storm which affected northeastern Madagascar.
