2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Concludes

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has officially wrapped up, and this year Florida caught a break.

2025 brought no U.S. or Gulf Coast hurricane landfalls, marking a shift from the high-impact seasons we’ve experienced recently.

While Florida stayed quiet, the Atlantic Basin still saw five hurricanes, three of which were Category 5 storms. The season ended with above normal ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) or overall storm energy.


When comparing 2025 to the 2024 season, the difference is stark. 2024 had far more named storms and hurricanes.

Hurricane Melissa, a late-season Category 5 hurricane, was the most impactful storm of 2025. It made its first landfall in Jamaica as one of the strongest land falling storms ever recorded in the Atlantic. Melissa was also the first storm to either form or travel over the unseasonably warm waters of the Caribbean Sea this year.

Quiet Atlantic Basin as we near the end of hurricane season

The countdown is on – 26 days until the official end of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

There are no areas on our radar for tropical development and no activity is anticipated over the next 7 days.

Hostile upper-level winds are increasing across the tropical belt and there’s stronger wind shear from a more active jet stream.

It’s around this point in the season where formation zones shrink down as conditions become less favorable for tropical systems.

We’ll watch the Caribbean where there’s a low chance for formation, only around 20%.

This is a typical spot near the Central American Gyre where a tropical system can spin up from the enhanced lift.

Could this be the end of hurricane season? We’ll certainly hope for it! Odds favor the season is over – but as always, we will watch and let you know if that changes.

Where we stand this season: 13 named storms, 5 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes.

And notably, three Category 5 hurricanes formed this season. That’s the most since 2005 – which had four Cat 5 storms (Katrina, Rita, Wilma and Emily).

While a landfalling November storm is rare, it has happened. Here’s a look in the hurricane history books:

Hurricane Nicole is the most recent landfalling November hurricane. It hit Vero Beach as a Category 1 storm in 2022.
