2025 hurricanes: Colorado State researchers predict an 'above-average' season ahead
Briefly

Researchers at Colorado State University project that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will see a total of 17 named storms, surpassing historical averages. Out of these, nine are expected to develop into hurricanes, with four classified as major hurricanes. This prediction indicates a 25% increase in storm activity compared to the 1991-2020 average. Factors contributing to this heightened activity include above-average sea surface temperatures which not only enhance hurricane formation but also weaken atmospheric structures that can inhibit storms.
According to Colorado State University, the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be above average, with 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
CSU's 2025 hurricane season prediction indicates a 25% increase in activity compared to the 1991-2020 average, influenced significantly by elevated sea surface temperatures.
