Digest more
Hurricane season peaks on September 10. Here's where things stand from the season's outlook to current ocean temperatures.
Forecasters have adjusted the stormy forecast for 2025 following a rare lull during what is typically the busiest part of the Atlantic hurricane season.
As of Thursday, AccuWeather believes 13-16 named storms and six to nine hurricanes will form before the end of the hurricane season. This is a slight decrease from the initial forecast for 13-18 named storms, and seven to 10 hurricanes issued back in March.
AccuWeather warns that a lack of dry air and disruptive wind shear could breed dangerous hurricanes that quickly strengthen.
