How does the 2025 season compare to previous years?

Experts note that November storms are becoming more common, with three named storms occurring in the Atlantic basin in November 2024, one of which reached hurricane strength. This uptick in late-season activity is likely due to the warmer sea surface temperatures observed in recent years.

Quiet Hurricane Season Brings Relief After Melissa's Devastation

As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season enters its final weeks, the region is experiencing a welcome respite from the storms. According to the National Hurricane Center, the tropics are currently quiet, with no activity expected for the next seven days.

However, forecasters are keeping a close eye on a tropical wave in the Caribbean, where waters remain warm enough to support potential tropical development. While this system bears watching, AccuWeather experts believe it is unlikely to pose a threat to the United States, as any potential storm would likely move west toward Central America or Mexico due to the prevailing easterly steering breezes.

The relative calm in the Atlantic is a stark contrast to the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa just last week. The storm's impact served as a stark reminder of the increasing frequency and intensity of late-season hurricanes, a trend that experts attribute to the effects of climate change.
