The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be more active than average, with 17 named storms expected. HOUSTON — The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be more active than average, with a higher chance of major hurricanes impacting the U.S. and Caribbean, according to a new forecast from Colorado State University.

It’s only spring, but some weather forecasters are already focusing on this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. The season, which spans June through November, is shaping up to be a busy one, according to hurricane researchers at Colorado State University.

Colorado State University, a school renowned for its hurricane research, said it expects “above-normal” tropical activity this year. The early-season prediction, released Thursday, stems from warm sea-surface temperatures, and the potential for conditions that kindle tropical activity.
