As the upcoming 2025 hurricane season approaches (6/1/2025 – 11/30/2025) for the east coast, it’s essential to understand the factors influencing storm activity and take proactive steps to safeguard your property. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, with peak activity typically occurring between August and October.
2025 Hurricane Season Projections
According to Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is anticipated to be near the 30-year average, with projections of 15 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which measures the combined strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, is forecasted to be 129, close to the 30-year norm of 122.
Factors Influencing the 2025 Hurricane Season
Several climatic factors contribute to the development and intensity of hurricanes:
- Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs): Warmer SSTs in the Atlantic Main Development Region (MDR) can enhance hurricane activity by providing more energy for storm formation. Current forecasts suggest warmer-than-average SSTs in this region for 2025.
- El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO): ENSO significantly impacts hurricane activity. El Niño conditions tend to suppress Atlantic hurricane formation due to increased vertical wind shear, while La Niña conditions can increase storm activity by reducing wind shear. As of late 2024, there is a 57% chance of La Niña conditions developing, which could persist into early 2025, potentially leading to a more active hurricane season.
- Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation (AMO): The AMO refers to long-term fluctuations in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures. A positive (warm) phase of the AMO is associated with increased hurricane activity, while a negative (cool) phase correlates with decreased activity. The current phase of the AMO will influence the 2025 hurricane season’s activity levels.
Historical Context of Hurricanes & Recent Hurricane Trends
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, attributed in part to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures and higher atmospheric moisture levels contribute to more powerful storms. For instance, the 2024 hurricane season saw several significant storms, including Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread damage across the Southeast.
