The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has been quiet so far but has months still to go. What are forecasters expecting at this point? Colorado State University issued a forecast update on Wednesday and slightly decreased the number of storms expected before the season ends on Nov. 30.

The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10, and hurricane season ends on November 31. CSU releases updated forecasts in June, July, and August each year. Historically, the early July forecast has good long-term accuracy. The skill of CSU’s forecast updates increases as the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches.

CSU has slightly reduced their forecast due to strong Caribbean wind shear. What preparations have you made so far? Remember, it only takes one storm to impact SWFL.
