The Atlantic coast of the US will be experiencing an active and dynamic hurricane season with a possible repetition of last year's catastrophic storm system lineup, experts warn.
After storm season begins on June 1, as many as 18 hurricanes are expected to wipe out the eastern US. Accuweather.
Experts say that in 2025, three to six people will reach or exceed the strength of the US Category 3.
The reports say the areas at the highest risk of a strong storm are the Florida Panhandle, the Carolina and the Gulf Coast, the seaside of Atlantic Canada.
“These are the main areas, but there is a possibility that any of the areas in between can be attacked by a hurricane,” Accuweather Meteorologist Isaac Longley told the post.
But New York may be clear.
“It's really hard to curve the east coast and actually land on it. You'll have to “phase” with another storm system that travels around the country,” Longley said. “We need perfect timing.”
One of the main factors that determines the intensity and severity of a storm is the Atlantic water temperature. Experts say it's currently above average.
“Water temperatures to the Mid-North Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf, particularly the crossing of the Caribbean Sea, to the Mid-North Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf, crossing most of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly the Caribbean Sea. [America] Now we're above average by 1-2 degrees Celsius,” Longley said.
According to the weather indicator “Accumulated Cyclone Energy” (ACE), the storms in the 2025 season have a cumulative power of 125 to 175, surpassing the 30-year historic average of 123.
The major storms are affected by two geographical entities that have little connection to the continent: Bermuda Zoles and the West Coast of Africa.
The direction of tropical storms is influenced by the actions of Bermuda Zoles, a semi-permeable, highly pressured subtropical region of the North Atlantic.
Similarly, weather conditions in West Africa can affect temperatures and thus impact storms in the continental United States. The aviation systems currently appearing in the Horn of Africa travel across the ocean, resulting in moderate to late season hurricanes and tropical storms.
Currently, air temperatures from Africa are low, indicating a benevolent lull in the second half of the storm season.
“That area [of Africa] “It's actually well below average, so some of these waves could slow the likelihood of at least some storms until they reach the Central Atlantic,” Longley said.
The 2025 hurricane season ends on November 30th.
Last year, two major hurricanes – Milton and Helen – killed hundreds of Americans and spent billions of dollars in damages in Florida, Texas and the Southeast.
