The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is proving to be nothing short of dynamic. As the calendar progresses towards the historical peak of the season (August through October), NOAA has reaffirmed its prediction that this year’s hurricane activity remains on track to be above-normal.

For the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, NOAA is forecasting 13 to 18 total named storms with winds of 39 mph or greater -- with five to nine of those storms predicted to become hurricanes with winds of 74 mph or greater.

NOAA forecasts a 50% chance of above-normal hurricane activity in 2025, with up to 18 named storms and five major hurricanes.
