2025 Atlantic hurricane season

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30, 2025. 

These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period of each year in which the majority of tropical or subtropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Atlantic Ocean (more than 97%). The first system, Tropical Storm Andrea, formed on June 24, marking the latest start to an Atlantic season since 2014.

Overview

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially started on June 1, with tropical weather forecasts beginning on May 15. So far, three tropical cyclones have formed. The season’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), calculated by Colorado State University using National Hurricane Center data, is 1,215 units.

Early in the season, storm formation was limited due to several factors: a strong Atlantic anticyclone pushed tropical waves south toward Central America and the eastern Pacific, dry Saharan dust spread across the Atlantic, and atmospheric wave interactions over the Americas also played a role.
