2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Seeing big headlines on major news outlets like FOX Weather stating things like "Is hurricane season over because it went quiet for now?" is nothing short of infuriating. This is exactly the same type of stupid knee-jerk reaction that we saw last year, and look how that turned out. Perhaps the actual content of the article may not be stating that it is, but people read headlines, not articles. If we end up with a nasty Sept-Oct stretch after seeing stuff like this, I won't be surprised in the slightest. Perhaps try calling the article, "No, hurricane season isn't dead yet."

It’s far from over. This idea also being floated out by people that the east coast is somehow safe because fronts have dominated the season is very flawed thinking. They must forget about hurricane King, Donna, Hazel, and Sandy just to name a few all storms that came up from the Western Caribbean and hit the east coast. In fact, I argue the east coast of Florida is more vulnerable to a hurricane impact in October than August and September (especially if La Niña develops) because of how storms form in closer proximity to land. Plus even the wave coming off is no guarantee to curve even if the pattern is showing that right now long term. In fact the Euro ensembles have trended west already and it’s still very far out. This kind of stuff can really backfire big time with the media if they are not careful.
