Overview

• NOAA predicts 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes for the 2025 Atlantic season.
• Warm Atlantic waters and weak wind shear under La Niña conditions are creating ideal conditions for rapid storm development.
• A low-pressure system off Mexico’s southern coast has a 70–80% chance of becoming the season’s first tropical storm before June 1.
• Acting NOAA chief Laura Grimm warns that hurricanes now pose inland threats, bringing flooding and high winds far from coastlines.
• Meteorologists urge the public to follow official updates from the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service to avoid clickbait misinformation.
