Tropical Storm Dora

Tropical Storm Dora

The name Dora has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, and five tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. It was used in the Atlantic before the formal naming system was instituted; though it was later retired in the Atlantic, it remains on the Pacific list. It has also been used for one cyclone in the Southwest Indian Ocean.
