- NOAA forecasted an above-normal 2025 Atlantic hurricane season with 13 to 19 named storms expected from June 1 to November 30.
- The forecast results from warm Atlantic sea-surface temperatures, weak wind shear, and strong African monsoons fueling storm development.
- NOAA predicts 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes, defined as Category 3 or stronger, posing risks beyond coastal areas.
- Ken Graham emphasized the importance of preparing in advance by organizing a plan and assembling necessary supplies well before any storm approaches.
