Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda Bring Dangerous Surf, Rip Currents to East Coast
1 Oct
Summary
- Two hurricanes and two tropical waves tracked in Atlantic
- Humberto and Imelda pose no direct threat to US, move east
- Swells from storms impact Florida, East Coast with rough surf, erosion, rip currents
As of October 1, 2025, the National Hurricane Center is tracking two hurricanes and two tropical waves in the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda are currently moving east into the open Atlantic and pose no direct threat to Florida or the United States. However, the swells generated by these storms are impacting the East Coast, including Florida, bringing dangerous beach conditions.
The Atlantic hurricane season is at its peak, with the busiest period typically running from mid-August through mid-October. While the 2025 season has been relatively quiet so far, the National Hurricane Center warns that it only takes one storm to make it an impactful year for coastal communities. Residents are encouraged to prepare for potential storms before they approach, as shelves are fully stocked, and crowds are smaller.
Despite the lack of direct impacts, the National Weather Service reports that Florida can expect rough surf, beach erosion, and life-threatening rip currents to continue through the week due to the swells generated by Hurricanes Imelda and Humberto. The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor the situation and provide updates to the public.
