The Atlantic coast of the United States is set to experience an active and dynamic hurricane season in a possible repeat of last year’s lineup of devastating storm systems, experts warn.
As many as 18 hurricanes are expected to sweep across the eastern United States after the stormy season begins on June 1, according to a report from Accuweather.
Experts say three to six of those named storms will reach or exceed Category 3 strength in the continental United States in 2025.
The regions most at risk for the powerful storms will be the Gulf coast, the ocean-side of Florida’s panhandle, the Carolinas, and Atlantic Canada, according to that report.
“Those are the main areas but it’s still possible that we can see a hurricane strike any of the areas in between,” Accuweather meteorologist Isaac Longley told The Post.
New York, however, may be in the clear.
“It’s really tough to get a system to curve up the East Coast and actually make landfall. It would have to ‘phase’ with another storm system that would move across the country,” Longley said. “You have to have perfect timing.”
One major factor determining the strength and severity of the storms is the water temperature in the Atlantic Ocean, which experts say is currently above average.

Where’s the “Not this $#it again” meme?
Same prediction. EVERY YEAR. Doom and gloom.
They will be right eventually, then it’s “we told you”
At some point they will be correct, simply because their average has declined so much over the last couple decades.
That’s about how scientific it is - snake-eyes every time.

Guess.
Then too the season could have no tropical storms. “Experts” laughed at at 6.
I know - read the 4’th paragraph again.
There is no ocean side of the panhandle- I’m in Destin right now and there ain’t no ocean outside - it’s the Gulf of America
Then they could have Said that !
“Experts”
The same “experts” that project numerous storms pre-hurricane season, then dial down the numbers mid-hurricane season, then dial down the numbers again at the end. Then, when the storm numbers finally pan out, they say: “See, we were right!” \s
And..... What's your point?
Isn't there ANY positive benefits to try and improve how hurricanes are forecast and detecting changing weather patterns?
Ugh, the anti-science posters flock to these threads like moths to a flame.
Every year, same same.
Yep. Spent most of my life on the Gulf Coast.
Every year is different.
Every storm is different.
We got a tropical storm years ago, not a hurricane, that shut down Houston for days. TS Allison.
It would be fine that was all they were doing, in general like most if not all Federal agencies are pushing a political agenda, I this case the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are increasing, with that in mind I stand on my original statement
For anything as complex as weather, any single year or a couple consecutive years of events is just random. Grouping in ten-year segments seems to provide information.

Don’t we get this same prediction like every single year?
could ... or could not ...
Maybe yes, maybe no, but definitely maybe.
