Atlantic Hurricane Season Winds Down With No Development Expected This Week

Forecasters report a rare pattern of few storms with outsized intensity this year.

Overview

  • The National Hurricane Center expects no tropical development in the next seven days as the November 30 season end approaches.
  • Totals to date stand at 13 named storms, 5 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes, with Erin, Humberto and Melissa reaching Category 5 strength.
  • 2025 is only the second recorded year with three Category 5 storms and the first in which the first three hurricanes all became major hurricanes.
  • U.S. mainland impacts were limited, with minimal Gulf activity and only Tropical Storm Chantal bringing minor effects along the East Coast.
  • Hurricane Melissa was the season’s final significant storm, while a small area of interest in the southern Caribbean carries very low odds of development.
