Summer travelers, be aware.
According to Squaremouth, the nation’s largest travel insurance comparison service, this year’s hurricane season is predicted to be one of the worst on record.
Combined with FEMA scaling back key emergency training programs and the aviation industry’s struggles with delays and disruptions, there’s never been a better time to have travel insurance when things go wrong.
2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast
The Tropical Cyclones, Radar, Atmospheric Modeling, and Software Team at Colorado State University is forecasting 17 named storms this coming season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, 2025.
The projection includes nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes. That shakes out to approximately 85 named storm days, 35 hurricane days and nine major hurricane days, respectively.
For perspective, the average from 1991 to 2020 is 14.4 named storms, 7.2 hurricanes and 3.2 major hurricanes.
“We anticipate that the 2025 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have above-normal activity,” officials at CSU said. “Current La Niña conditions are likely to transition to ENSO neutral conditions in the next couple of months; however, there remains considerable uncertainty as to what the phase of ENSO will be this summer and fall.”
“A warmer-than-normal tropical Atlantic combined with likely ENSO neutral (or potential La Niña) conditions typically provides a more conducive dynamic and thermodynamic environment for hurricane formation and intensification. We anticipate an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.”
