As we look ahead to the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, the Colorado State University (CSU) forecast provides valuable insights into what we can expect. While predicting the exact timing and path of hurricanes is never an exact science, the forecast for the 2025 season indicates above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin. Whether you live along the coast or in an inland area that could be affected by heavy rains or flooding, it’s crucial to prepare early for the possibility of a major storm.
CSU 2025 Hurricane Season Forecast: What to Expect
CSU’s early predictions indicate that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be marked by above-normal activity. This means that we can expect more named storms, hurricanes, and possibly major hurricanes than average.
· 17 Named Storms
· 9 Hurricanes
· 4 Major Hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)
While these numbers are subject to change as the season progresses, this forecast gives us a solid understanding of the potential risks and serves as a reminder that the Atlantic hurricane season is unpredictable. Now let’s dive into the factors contributing to this outlook:
1. ENSO Conditions: The current La Nina conditions in the Pacific are expected to transition to ENSO neutral conditions over the next few months. This shift creates a more favorable environment for hurricane development, as neutral or La Nina conditions typically enhance wind patterns and atmospheric stability that support the formation of stronger storms.
2. Sea Surface Temperatures: Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the eastern and central Atlantic are currently warmer than normal, though not quite as warm as they were last year. Warmer waters provide more energy for storms to form and intensify, making conditions conducive to stronger hurricanes.
3. Potential Landfall Risks: Given these environmental conditions, CSU is predicting an above-average probability of major hurricanes making landfall along the U.S. East Coast, the Gulf Coast, and in the Caribbean. While the number of storms is not the only measure of an active season, it only takes one hurricane making landfall to turn an otherwise normal year into a catastrophic one.
The Importance of Early Hurricane Preparedness
Whether the season ends up being as active as predicted or not, preparing early is key. As we’ve seen in past years, it’s not always the most intense storms that cause the most damage – sometimes it’s the storms that we least expect that catch us off guard. Thorough preparations should be made every season, and you can’t afford to wait until a storm is approaching to get your home or business ready. Make sure you have an evacuation plan with supplies, a structural preparedness plan for your property, and flood protection.
