NOAA Forecasts Above-Normal 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Implications for U.S. Insurance
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30, with NOAA forecasting an above-normal activity including 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes, and 3 to 5 major hurricanes. This forecast is driven by warmer Atlantic sea surface temperatures and neutral ENSO conditions, which influence storm formation. Insurance professionals should note the potential for heightened claims activity related to wind and flood damage in hurricane-prone U.S. regions.
