The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season proved to be consequential, even though no hurricanes made landfall in the U.S for the first time since 2015.
Prior to the start of the season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted above average activity in its initial Atlantic hurricane season outlook, with 13 to 19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes, and three to five major hurricanes, Category 3 or stronger.
This season, the Atlantic basin produced 13 named storms, five of which became hurricanes. This included four major hurricanes with maximum sustained winds reaching 111 mph or greater.
Considering that a portion of this year’s hurricane season occurred during the longest federal government shutdown in history, experts say it is fortunate that none of the storms hit the U.S.
"The forecasters at the NHC kept working, but without pay," said Marc Alessi, climate attribution fellow at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "The U.S. got lucky that no hurricanes made landfall during the government shutdown. FEMA response would have been limited."
This season offers a glimpse into how human-amplified climate change could influence tropical activity in the coming decades. While the total number of tropical cyclones is expected to remain steady or even decrease slightly, the storms that do form are likely to be more intense, according to climate scientists.
Human-caused climate change has led to substantial ocean warming, which fuels hurricane intensification.
The changing climate is also amplifying the indirect effects of tropical systems that remain well offshore, making coastal areas more vulnerable.

Global something . . .
What can u expect from years of government training.
Well they predicted a record season; as they do every year!
One year they will be right
As a Florida resident, if Climate Change ends hurricanes in Florida, then I’m all for Climate Change.
They start with the conclusion. And then hammer it. "Human-caused". "Human-amplified". There is no science here. It's just politics.
Now they’ll say hurricanes are good, and that global warming is reducing the number of hurricanes.
You don’t hate the media enough.
Trumps fault….oh, wait….
All Trump’s fault
“ Human-caused climate change has led to substantial ocean warming, which fuels hurricane intensification.”
“ Human-caused climate change has led to substantial ocean warming, which fuels hurricane intensification.”
No doubt they base this on the increased monetary sums deemed lost due to hurricane damage, deliberately ignoring the fact that more people than ever before habitate in these areas, and the cost of everything goes up each year.
The Rubes are the low-hanging fruit for them.
Hurricanes are part of the natural cycle and if they went away we would have drought in many of the Appalachian states.
Like most things, what they say contains some fact, but it is so surrounded by a body guard of pure nonsense that it can be hard to find.
Climate Change.
“Human-caused climate change has led to substantial ocean warming, which fuels hurricane intensification.”
Methinks it would be impossible to change the average temperature of the ocean based on human activity. If it is truly warming, blame the sun.
LIES
They were spot on this year.
It’s because Trump has control of the secret weather machine in the basement.
Once again protecting America!
