2025 Hurricane Season Is One of the Quietest on Record

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains why the 2025 hurricane season has been one of the least active on record. Despite NOAA’s forecast of 13–19 storms, only Hurricane Erin has formed as a major storm—and it never made U.S. landfall. Scientists attribute the quiet season to unusual wind patterns, high pressure systems, and Atlantic temperature shifts. Ironically, Erin itself may have reduced future storm activity by depleting the ocean’s surface heat.
