WEATHER ALERT APRIL 6, 2025
Top scientists predict hurricanes for 2025 Scientists predict nine hurricanes could impact the US this year, with eight states at significant risk of facing a major storm. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and researchers at Colorado State University (CSU) suggested the US will see an ‘above-average’ number of named storms in 2025 . This year, hurricane activity is expected to be about 25 percent higher than the average from 1991 to 2020. In 2024, it was about 30 percent higher than that average. According to their analysis, up to 17 named storms could form, with nine becoming hurricanes. Of those hurricanes, four should reach ‘major’ strength (Category 3 to 5) with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour or greater.
