Overview

• Humberto helped tug Imelda away from the U.S. after battering Bermuda, with the two hurricanes coming within 500 miles of each other, a proximity not seen in the satellite era.
• The 2025 season reached the end of September without a U.S. hurricane landfall for the first time in a decade, despite multiple major hurricanes over open water.
• Interacting swells generated dangerous rip currents along the East Coast, and six unoccupied homes collapsed in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, according to the Associated Press.
• The Climate Prediction Center highlights multiple areas with development potential over the next three weeks, and Colorado State’s two‑week outlook calls for above‑normal activity.
• Forecasters say exceptionally warm waters in the western Caribbean and Gulf, coupled with lowering wind shear in early La Niña, raise the chance of rapid intensification later in October and November.
