Atlantic hurricane season off to a slow start


The Atlantic remains quiet. No tropical development is expected within the next seven days. 

If things remain silent though Friday, this will be the slowest start we’ve had in eleven years. However, keep in mind that June only accounts for 6% of the storms within a typical Atlantic hurricane season.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific has already seen five named storms. One of which, Hurricane Erick, made landfall in Mexico this morning as a Category 3 hurricane. Erick became a high-end Category 4 hurricane last night before making landfall in extreme western Oaxaca with 125mph winds. It has since weakened substantially.

2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Quietly Begins

Today marks the start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. Our new storm naming list is below. The first name up is Andrea.

It’s unlikely that we’ll see any named storms form within the next week.

Recent seasons have started earlier than June 20th (the average date when we expect our first storm to form). This will be the fourth straight year that we have not had a a preseason storm.

Relatively speaking, June is not an active month in our hurricane season. It generally accounts for only 6% of all recorded storms within a season.

However, June storms often form in the western Atlantic, Gulf of America, and western Caribbean.
