NOAA Forecasts Above-Normal 2025 Hurricane Season

NOAA Predicts Above-Normal 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Oklahoma City, OK – May 29, 2025 – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, predicting a 60% chance of an above-normal season. This means we can expect a busier-than-usual hurricane season with a higher number of storms. "There is a 60% probability that this hurricane season will be above normal," stated a meteorologist in a recent video discussing the NOAA forecast. The prediction includes 13 to 19 named storms, with 6 to 10 developing into hurricanes. Even more concerning, they anticipate 3 to 5 of those hurricanes reaching major hurricane status. The video also highlighted the names that will be used for tropical cyclones in 2025, reminding viewers that these names are reused every few years unless a storm is so destructive that the name is retired. NOAA urges residents in hurricane-prone areas to prepare for the upcoming season. It's a timely reminder that even one intense storm can have a significant impact. Staying informed and prepared is crucial for minimizing the risks associated with hurricanes.
