Naming context
The name Gonzalo is part of the World Meteorological Organization’s rotating list of Atlantic basin tropical‑cyclone names. It appears on the list that is used every six years (e.g., 1995, 2001, 2007, 2013, 2019). The name has not been retired and therefore may be used again in future seasons.
