Records and Naming
Severe Tropical Cyclone Daman, with a pressure of 925 hPa (mbar), was the strongest storm within the 2007–08 South Pacific season, as well as the most intense storm during 2007 that RSMC Nadi had monitored in the south Pacific that season.
This was the third time that the name Daman had been used to name a cyclone in the south Pacific, having last been used in the 1991-1992 season. After this season the name Daman was retired and replaced with the name Denia, after a request from the representative of Fiji, at the World Meteorological Organization's RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee.

Famous quotes containing the words records and/or naming:
“My confessions are shameless. I confess, but do not repent. The fact is, my confessions are prompted, not by ethical motives, but intellectual. The confessions are to me the interesting records of a self-investigator.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
