Overview

• AccuWeather's 2025 Atlantic hurricane season forecast predicts 13-18 named storms, including 7-10 hurricanes and 3-5 major hurricanes.
• Up to six tropical systems are expected to directly impact the United States, with higher risks for the Gulf Coast, Carolinas, and northeastern Caribbean.
• ENSO-neutral conditions and warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures are key drivers of the predicted activity, potentially leading to rapid storm intensification.
• The season could start early, as seen in 2024, with the official start date set for June 1 and peak activity expected from mid-August to mid-October.
• NOAA advises early preparation, encouraging residents in high-risk areas to secure disaster supplies and review insurance policies ahead of the season.
