Confidence is growing that a more active than average Atlantic hurricane season is about to begin in just over a week. NOAA is now forecasting a 6-in-10 chance of an above-average hurricane season.
By The Numbers: NOAA expects 13 to 19 storms to form in 2025, six to 10 of which will become hurricanes and three to five of which will reach Category 3 status or stronger, according to the outlook released Thursday.
These ranges are on the high side of the 30-year average for both hurricanes and storms. The range for the number of hurricanes is slightly shy of 2024's total of 11.
NOAA's outlook is consistent, but on the low side of other outlooks issued recently by The Weather Company and by Colorado State University's tropical forecast team.

Trumps fault.
If you go back to May of 2024, you will see the same headline. AND (there’s more), if you go back to May of 2023, you will see the same headline. AND.......believe it or not, if you go back to May of 2022, you will see the same headline.
You won’t believe what happens next!
Sounds like they are going to crank up HAARP.
THEY SAY THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Eventually they will be right
Now do 2020 LOL
If only the Congress had not removed subsidies for “green” energy, we could have ended hurricanes and it would be a perfectly balmy 72 F year round with gentle breezes wafting
Why don’t they predict lower funding for BS?
When was the last time they predicted a lower than average season?
That seems to be the forecast for decades now.
Once again, El RushBo comes to mind. After Katrina, no major hurry made USA landfall for 13 years.
Sighhhhhh. How did last year’s forecast turn out? Or the year’s before that? Or the year’s before that?
I have a friend who used to be a weather forecaster in the USAF. He told me that some forecasters see storms everywhere. Others, not so much. The most boring place to work is Hawaii. The weather is the same, day in day out...year in, year out.
Seems they say this every yr
I think they say that every year. (Climate change! Ack!)
Interesting
“When was the last time they predicted a lower than average season?”
Never, that I can remember. Even when the 12 years of quiet happened, every year they predicted doom and gloom, but with requests for more money.
And a nice 20 minute sun shower every afternoon during siesta.
