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.

After passing west of Bermuda, Melissa has now become a post-tropical cyclone. Its now moving at a whopping 48 mph to the northeast. Wind gusts as strong as 98 mph were observed on Bermuda as the fast-moving hurricane moved by.

Its remnants are expected to traverse the north Atlantic over the weekend.

High surf and rip-currents, and generally dangerous ocean conditions have been reported along the northeast U.S. coastline, despite the storm passing hundreds of miles off their shores.

Newfoundland is no longer included within Melissa’s forecast cone. Impacts will still extend well outside this cone.

Even with the storm becoming post-tropical, it could still be capable of bringing them winds over 80 mph on Friday night into Saturday morning.

Beyond Melissa, there are no other active Atlantic disturbances or named systems being tracked by the National Hurricane Center.
