Hurricane Adrian is the first hurricane of the year. That's why it has that cool A name. But when I asked how monsoons are named, I was told that they aren't. Why? Isn't a monsoon a hurricane in the other hemisphere that turns the wrong way round?

Edit: Apparently, I meant typhoons. D'oh. The question still stands.

You're thinking of typhoons, I believe. Monsoons are something else--generally thought of as a heavily rainy season, though the technical definition is more complicated.
