Hurricane preparedness urged as season enters more active period
It has been a quiet start to the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, but that is expected to change this month.
In a media advisory issued by AccuWeather on 31 July, lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said, “The second half of this Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to be much more active and volatile than the first half. If influences from a returning La Nina emerge later this year, we could see conditions that are conducive for tropical storm development extending right through late October and November, possibly even into early December this year.”
While no tropical storms or hurricanes are expected to form in the Atlantic basin for a least the next 10 days, atmospheric conditions are becoming more suitable and AccuWeather urged increased levels of readiness.
