2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast Above Normal

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be above normal, with 17 named storms and nine hurricanes, according to Colorado State University. The forecast highlights warm Atlantic waters and neutral to La Niña conditions as contributing factors to the expected activity. While the probability of a major hurricane striking Florida is lower than in previous years, the state still faces a 92% chance of a named storm and a 35% chance of a major hurricane impact. New England states have variable chances of storm impacts, with Massachusetts having a 40% chance of being affected by a storm. The official hurricane season begins on June 1 and lasts until November 30, but storms have formed as early as May in recent years. Residents in coastal areas are advised to remain vigilant and monitor updates from meteorological organizations.
