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.
