ROCHESTER, N.Y. – As we move into November, it is safe to say the 2025 tropical cyclone season is drawing to a close. Officially, the season runs through the end of this month, but activity typically tapers off by mid to late November.
This year’s list included 13 named storms, which are systems that reach sustained winds of 39 miles per hour or higher. The final and most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Melissa, which caused extensive damage across Jamaica.
When examining all of the storm tracks, it is clear that activity in the Gulf of Mexico was minimal. Most systems developed and remained over the Atlantic and Caribbean. The only storm to affect the U.S. East Coast was Tropical Storm Chantal, which brought minor impacts. Overall, it was a relatively quiet year for the U.S. mainland.
So, how did the season measure up to predictions? Back in August, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasted 13 to 18 named storms, 5 to 9 hurricanes, and 2 to 5 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). The actual outcome landed near the lower end for total storms and hurricanes, with 13 named storms and 5 hurricanes, but near the higher end for major hurricanes, with 4 reaching Category 3 or above. It is worth noting that while seasonal forecasts provide good estimates for the number of storms, they offer limited insight into where those systems will form or make landfall.
Looking ahead, could we still see any late-season development? There is a small area of interest in the southern Caribbean, but the likelihood of further tropical development is very low. For now, it seems safe to say the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is winding down.
