NOAA released its outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season on May 22, forecasting a range of 13 to 19 named storms and the odds of an above-normal season reaching 60%. Of the predicted storms, NOAA says between 6-10 will become hurricanes, and 3-5 will intensify to major hurricanes (Category 3+).

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting as many as 19 tropical storms, including 6 to 10 hurricanes. Half of those hurricanes could reach “major” strength.
