Atlantic Hurricane Season Shows Slow Start Ahead of Expected August Uptick
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has seen three named storms—Andrea, Barry, and Chantal—marking an earlier-than-average start, though overall storm intensity and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) remain below normal, indicating a relatively slow start by some measures. Despite the quiet period following Chantal in early July, meteorologists and forecast models suggest an increase in tropical cyclone activity is likely in August, with areas such as the Gulf, Western Atlantic, and near the Bahamas being monitored for potential development. Experts highlight that August through October typically experience the most storm activity, with the season's climatological peak around September 10, and forecasts predict 13 to 19 named storms, including 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes. Warm ocean waters in the Gulf and Caribbean raise concerns about rapid intensification of storms as they approach land, a trend seen in recent seasons. Additionally, two specific areas of interest are being watched for possible tropical development in early August: a stalled front off the southeastern U.S. coast and a tropical wave approaching the Lesser Antilles. While 2025’s start is above average in storm count, the overall season severity is still expected to increase, with the possibility of several direct U.S. impacts.
