2025 Hurricane Season

The overall outlook for 2025 is not as bad as last year but still above the 30-year average.

Driving Forces for the 2025 Hurricane Season

The Weather Channel said that there are some driving forces behind this upcoming hurricane season being slightly above average.

Lack Of El Niño, Plus Possibility of La Niña

“The lack of a hurricane-suppressing El Niño is anticipated for all of this upcoming hurricane season,” said The Weather Channel. “There is a moderate chance of La Niña conditions during the heart of hurricane season (August through October).”

Water Temperatures Remain Warm, But Not Across the Board

“The Gulf and Caribbean are slightly warmer than average but are cooler than they were this time last year,” said The Weather Channel. “These regions, combined with the subtropical Atlantic, are where we look for early-season activity.”
