Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean spans June through November, and this year was forecasted to be near to above average.
However, as we approach the climatological peak of the season, we've only had six named storms.
2025 Atlantic Season predictions
Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Colorado State University (CSU) made their seasonal forecasts back in May and updated them in August. The latest outlooks predict an above-average season: 13 to 18 tropical cyclones (down from 13 to 19 named storms) for NOAA and 16 named storms for CSU (down from 17 to 24 named storms).
The new predictions include the six named storms we’ve already seen. The average number of named storms is around 14 per season.
