As the 2025 hurricane season begins, experts predict a potentially intense season with a 60% chance of above-normal activity. NOAA forecasts up to 19 named storms, including five major storms of category three or higher. Factors contributing to this prediction include changing West African monsoon patterns, which could enhance storm formation. Although no immediate tropical cyclone threats are observed as of early June, residents in hurricane-prone areas are urged to prepare adequately, including assembling emergency kits and securing necessary resources like fresh water.
"This hurricane season also features the potential for a northward shift of the West African monsoon, producing tropical waves that seed some of the strongest and most long-lived Atlantic storms."
"Season forecasts are hedging toward a slightly busier than average hurricane season, with Atlantic Basin ocean temperatures largely warmer than average."
