This year’s Atlantic hurricane season will see below average tropical activity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).<\/p>\n

The decreased storm activity is driven by El Nino, which is forecast to emerge soon and persist through the season, the agency announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1 and continues through Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

There is currently a 55% chance that this year’s season will be below average, according to NOAA, with eight to 14 named storms, tropical storms and stronger expected for the season.<\/p>\n

Three to six hurricanes could occur, of which one to three could major storms with Category 3 intensity or stronger, NOAA said.<\/p>\n

NOAA\u2019s hurricane outlooks predict overall seasonal activity, though levels of activity can vary throughout the six-month season. It does not predict how many storms will make landfall or specific locations where landfalls might occur.<\/p>\n

An average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes, according to NOAA.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season brought 13 named storms, just below the long-term seasonal average<\/p>\n

While there were no landfalling hurricanes in the United States last year for the first time in a decade, the season still proved to be consequential, producing three Category 5 hurricanes, including Melissa, which devastated Jamaica.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
