The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has been full of surprises, defying some expectations while confirming others.

NOAA forecasts 13 to 19 named storms for the upcoming 2025 hurricane season (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of these, 6 to 10 are expected to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4, or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).

The Colorado State University (CSU) has released its initial forecast for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, predicting an above-average season with nine hurricanes. A total of 17 named storms are predicted along with 4 major Hurricanes.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a nail-biter to the end, keeping seasonal hurricane forecasters on the edge of their seats this past hurricane season. So how did they do in predicting the numbers?

CSU released their latest forecast for the remainder of hurricane season and it's tweaked slightly lower.

A day after deadly Hurricane Beryl pounded Texas, experts at Colorado State University on Tuesday increased their storm forecast for what was already expected to be an above-average hurricane season.

Colorado State University’s (CSU) preseason hurricane forecast could potentially have a detrimental effect on Florida’s property insurance rates.

Predictions indicate a staggering 23 named storms, with 11 expected to intensify into hurricanes, including 5 potentially reaching major status.

Forecasters at Colorado State University continue to call for an above-average hurricane season in the Atlantic.

The seasonal forecast, which was updated on July 6, has been raised from a slightly above-average season earlier this year.

Today is the last day of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season and what a year it’s been.

The Atlantic hurricane season has been oddly quiet.

Federal meteorologists say this hurricane season may not be quite as busy as they initially thought, but it should still be more active than normal.

If his forecast is correct, the 2022 hurricane season will be the seventh above-normal season in a row, and we will have seen 70 named storms over three years.

Monday officially marks 100 days until the start of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, which begins June 1, 2022.

Scientists say there’s something different this year as the world staggers through another summer of extreme weather.

Fresh off of Tropical Storm Elsa impacting the Sunshine State, Colorado State University rereleased an update to its hurricane season forecast, WKMG-TV Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges reports.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. This hurricane season is on pace to become the second most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, if the latest seasonal predictions from federal prosecutors come true. Hurricane specialists and researchers at the National Hurricane Center and their parent organization, NOAA, announced its midseason updated forecast Thursday. NOAA initially stated a 60% in May of an active season but has been increased those odds to 85%. During the infamous 2005 hurricane season, NOAA predicted in its August outlook another extremely active season, with an expected total of 18-21 tropical storms and nine-11 hurricanes. Another reason for the extremely active Atlantic hurricane seasonal forecast is due to the abundant number of tropical waves rolling off West Africa.

Already smashing records, this years hyperactive Atlantic hurricane season is about to get even nastier, forecasters predict. The agency increased the chance of an above average hurricane season from 60% to 85%. Colorado State University, which pioneered hurricane season forecasts decades ago, on Wednesday amped its forecast to 24 named storms, 12 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes all higher than their June forecast. An average year, based on 1981 to 2010 data, is 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes. There are 21 names assigned to a hurricane season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Colorado State University (CSU) released its August update to the universitys long-term hurricane season forecast, raising the number of storms and hurricanes they expect for the 2020 season. The original prediction from CSU already called for an above-average hurricane season, but the August update raises the number of named storms from 20 to 24 (keep in mind theyve already named nine so far), and the number of those that become hurricanes from nine to twelve. Dr Phillip Klotzbach explains in a series of tweets the different factors that contribute to the extremely active hurricane season:One reason for increase in CSU Atlantic #hurricane season forecast is extremely warm tropical Atlantic sea surface temps. More robust easterly waves and more conducive upper-level winds for hurricanes in the tropical Atlantic are typically associated with active monsoon. pic.twitter.com/LhdDMRrSlS Philip Klotzbach (@philklotzbach) August 5, 2020Another reason for active CSU Atlantic #hurricane season forecast is odds of #ElNino this summer/fall are extremely low.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Colorado State University (CSU) released its July update to their long term hurricane season forecast, raising the number of storms and hurricanes they expect for the 2020 season. Updated seasonal #hurricane forecast from @ColoradoStateUcontinues call for very active 2020 Atlantic #hurricane season. Multiple 2020 hurricane season outlooks have been released and they are trending toward an active year. This year the average forecast -- for all 13 groups that have submitted to Seasonal Hurricane Predictions -- is eight hurricanes and 17 named storms. An average season sees six hurricanes and 12 named storms.

It may be time to change the hurricane scale to better represent the overall hurricane dangers. Hurricane expert and seasonal tropical cyclone expert Dr. Philip Klotzbach at Colorado State University said using hurricane pressure is a better way to convey the potential damage from hurricanes compared to using conventional wind measurements. Most who live in the hurricane belt know the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale well. In contrast, Charley had higher pressure and higher winds but was much smaller than Katrina, resulting in less destruction focused around Port Charlotte and less rain. Hurricane Sandy was a classic example, packing a very low Category 3-4 pressure of 942 mb even though it came ashore as a Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson rating.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hurricane season is fast approaching and it is likely to be an active -- maybe even an extremely active -- season. Historically, warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the eastern Atlantic correlate with more active Atlantic #hurricane season. "Since tropical systems feed off of warm sea surface temperatures, this could certainly lead to a more active 2020 Atlantic hurricane season," Ward says. The ECMWF seasonal hurricane forecast is derived from a count of vortices spun up by the model during the hurricane season, says Klotzbach.

(CNN) -- Sixteen named storms, including eight hurricanes, are forecast for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, according to early predictions released Thursday by experts at Colorado State University. "Two of the last three years have had major hurricane landfalls in the US (2017 and 2018)," Miller said. "Before that, there was a 12-year drought without a single major hurricane landfall anywhere in the country (from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 to Hurricane Harvey in 2017)." "The last major hurricane to strike the US was Hurricane Michael in 2018," he said. April is about the earliest experts can get a good indication of what conditions will be like during the hurricane season.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Researchers at Colorado State University revised their forecast Monday for the remainder of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. The Colorado State team now predicts 14 named storms this season, up from 13 in the group's April forecast. According to Monday's report, near-average sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and a weakening El Nio event in the tropical Pacific are the primary reasons for the near-average prediction. The warm waters that remain in the central tropical Pacific should continue to inhibit the growth of storms throughout the rest of the hurricane season. The CSU team says the current season is exhibiting characteristics to the 1992 season in which there were few storms, but one of which was Hurricane Andrew.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Researchers at Colorado State University revised their forecast Monday for the remainder of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. The Colorado State team now predicts 14 named storms this season, up from 13 in the group's April forecast. Of those hurricanes, the forecast of two being named "major" hurricanes remains the same. The warm waters that remain in the central tropical Pacific should continue to inhibit the growth of storms throughout the rest of the hurricane season. The updated forecast is not a reason for South Florida residents to let down their guard.
