Weather experts predict 2025 to have an above average hurricane season
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially starts on June 1 and weather experts are predicting it's going to be very active. The upcoming season has a 60% chance of being above average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 2025 forecast. NOAA 'Does that mean 13 to 19 name tropical storms are going to be coming up and impacting Hampton Roads? Absolutely not,' said Super Doppler 10 Meteorologist Steve Fundaro. 'That just means there could be 13 to 19 somewhere out there in the next six months.' Fundaro explained part of how NOAA comes up with these numbers. 'They are looking at general weather patterns across the entire northern hemisphere, down into the tropics,' Fundaro said. 'They're tying in water temperatures in the Caribbean and in the Atlantic.' The lead for the hurricane season outlook for NOAA, Matthew Rosencrans, told 10 On Your Side why they continue to predict above average seasons year after year. 'We are in what is termed as an active phase of the Atlantic, where the sea surface temperatures are generally warmer than normal,' Rosencrans said. 'The African monsoons are in a generally favorable position. We've had more La Ninas recently than we've had El Ninos. So, kind of the whole planet has things kind of aligning for that more activity.' The has also been released, some of which include Wendy, Dexter and Karen. Fundaro said the most important thing to do after the outlook comes out is to take the time to prepare. 'It's just kind of that annual reminder to make sure your hurricane kit is ready to go,' Fundaro said. 'Make sure you have a preparation plan in place. Make sure you know your flood zone. Make sure your homeowners' insurance, flood insurance, all that stuff, is just kind of up to date.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
