huragany

Huragany is the Polish plural noun for hurricanes. The singular form is huragan, and the word is used in meteorological reporting, weather summaries, and general discussion to refer to multiple tropical cyclones with hurricane intensity. In English-language contexts, the Polish term may appear when translating or describing storm activity in Polish sources.

Etymology and linguistic notes: Huragan is a loanword in Polish, commonly traced to the French or related Romance-language terms for hurricane, such as ouragan. The plural form huragany is created by applying standard Polish noun plural patterns to the masculine noun huragan. In pronunciation, huragan is typically spoken with the stress on the second syllable, and huragany follows the same pattern, with the emphasis on the syllable containing GA.

Usage: The term is primarily a scientific and journalistic descriptor rather than a proper noun. It appears in Polish weather reports and scholarly texts when discussing multiple storms or when listing historical hurricane events. While Polish uses huragan and huragany for generic hurricanes, individual storms retain their international names in proper reporting.
