Hurricane Season 2025 officially begins on June 1, and meteorologists are sounding the alarm for a potentially intense and dangerous year. According to AccuWeather’s Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva, the Atlantic basin could see between 13 and 18 named storms, including up to five major hurricanes reaching Category 3 or higher. If you live in South Florida—especially in Aventura, Davie, Downtown Miami, or East Orlando—now is the time to prepare.
The 2024 season was one of the most destructive on record, with hurricanes like Beryl and Helene delivering catastrophic flooding, winds, and tornadoes. As we step into 2025, the combination of record-warm sea surface temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and climate instability is creating conditions that are ripe for similar outcomes—or worse.
Why This Hurricane Season Could Be So Active
AccuWeather’s forecast attributes the projected activity to several key factors:
- Warm Ocean Waters: The Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean waters are already well above historical averages. These warmer temperatures fuel stronger, more rapidly intensifying storms.
- Ocean Heat Content (OHC): It’s not just the surface temperature that matters. OHC measures how deep the warm water goes, and deeper pools of heat mean more energy for hurricanes.
- La Niña Possibility: A shift toward La Niña later in the season could reduce wind shear, allowing more storms to develop and grow.
- Tropical Waves from Africa: More waves and storm clusters could increase the number of tropical cyclones forming in the Atlantic.
This year’s accumulated cyclone energy (ACE)—a measure of the total strength and duration of tropical storms—is projected between 125 and 175, exceeding the 30-year average of 123.
What This Means for Florida
South Florida remains at high risk for direct hurricane impacts. As DaSilva notes, the northern and eastern Gulf Coast, along with the Carolinas and Florida, are again in the danger zone. In 2024, Hurricane Milton devastated the state with tornadoes and flooding. Similar outcomes are possible in 2025.
Even inland areas should be alert. As seen with Hurricane Beryl, storms can travel hundreds of miles, spawning tornadoes and flash flooding far from where they first made landfall.
