Executive Summary:

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is approaching, with the official start on June 1st. Forecasters are closely monitoring several factors that will influence the season's activity. While early predictions suggest a potentially less active season than the disastrous 2024 season, unusually warm Caribbean waters and other unpredictable elements mean coastal communities should remain vigilant. New forecasting technologies, like NOAA's HAFS model, promise improved accuracy in predicting storm intensity and track, offering more lead time for preparedness.

Key Themes and Ideas:

  1. Seasonal Predictions and ENSO:
  • ENSO-Neutral Conditions: Current outlooks suggest a likely ENSO-neutral phase, meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña will dominate. Historically, ENSO-neutral years have produced varying levels of hurricane activity. "Forecasters are still analyzing the potential development of an El Niño or La Niña event for the upcoming season, but current outlooks suggest that the year will likely fall within an ENSO-neutral phase, meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña conditions are expected to dominate."
  • Spring Predictability Barrier: Forecasting ENSO conditions this time of year is difficult due to weak trade winds over the Pacific. "What that means is that this time of year and up into about March and maybe even April, it becomes very difficult and forecasts for whether it's going to be an El Niño or La Niña are much less reliable."
  • WeatherBell's Forecast: After accurately predicting a severe 2024 season, WeatherBell Analytics forecasts a less impactful 2025 season with 15-19 named storms, 7-9 hurricanes, and 2-3 major hurricanes. They suggest "fewer impacts" and "no clear landfall signals" unlike last year.
  1. Sea Surface Temperatures:
  • Warm Caribbean Waters: Above-average temperatures in the Caribbean Sea raise concerns about potentially more intense hurricanes if storms enter that region. "The Caribbean is extremely warm. That suggests that if we get a storm, like Beryl, forming in the region, we could see an unusually strong system this year," said Norcross.
  • Gulf and Western Atlantic: Water temperatures in the Gulf and western Atlantic fluctuate but can still provide fuel for developing systems.
  • Cooler Atlantic: WeatherBell forecasters say that cooler conditions in the Atlantic favor a weaker season overall. "The Atlantic is much cooler than last year, and the swath of warmer water is shown to the north. This suggests less Main Development Region activity, but the worry have its share of issues."

Hurricane Hunters Say Milton is Rapidly Intensifying as We Look at Different Landfall Scenarios

Hurricane Hunters Say Milton is Rapidly Intensifying as We Look at Different Landfall Scenarios

Sunday afternoon update on Hurricane Milton, which is rapidly intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico. Details on the hurricane's current location, movement, and projected path, indicating that it is expected to become a major hurricane and approach the west coast of Florida by midweek. Hazards, including storm surge and heavy rainfall which could lead to flooding, and dangerous surf conditions along the Gulf Coast are a concern especially near and south of the landfall location. Points to the north of the center of circulation could see stronger wins and rain then on the so-called “dirty side“ which would normally be on the southside interaction with a jet streak the storm could be a little bit different. We looked at scenarios with, the potential for one north of Tampa Bay and a scenario for south of Tampa Bay.

Growing Insurance Failures Take Spotlight After Hurricane Helene

Growing Insurance Failures Take Spotlight After Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene is a major disaster that highlights the growing economic risks associated with climate change. While the financial impact of the hurricane is significant, with estimates reaching over $100 billion with long-term implications for communities, businesses, and individuals. Climate change will increasingly lead to "known unknowns" - events that we know will happen but cannot predict their exact timing or location. Adaptation, investing in preventative measures, and the need for governments and companies to take proactive steps to mitigate the financial and social consequences of these events is vital to move forward.Suggested questions

Hurricane Helene’s Toxic Flood Waters

Hurricane Helene’s Toxic Flood Waters

There’s a hidden danger of toxic chemical releases from industrial facilities during hurricanes. Limited disclosure requirements and insufficient public information about these risks leave communities unprepared and unaware of the potential consequences. Red tide has been detected in Pinellas County waters following Hurricane Helene. This poses an additional health risk for residents already dealing with storm damage and cleanup, as red tide can cause respiratory problems and potentially harm marine life.

Hurricane Helene - HAARP Engineered and Steered to Wipe Out a Town

Hurricane Helene - HAARP Engineered and Steered to Wipe Out a Town

Conspiracy theories circulate about Hurricane Helene, which struck Florida in September 2024 and wreaked havoc upon upstate North Carolina. Some theories claim the hurricane was intentionally manipulated to impact Republican areas, while others suggest it was engineered to clear land for lithium mining. We also examine theories claiming the hurricane was created or guided by technology, such as HAARP, frequency transmitters, or cloud seeding. While lithium is on the mind of conspiracy theorist, a real life quartz mining facility has been severely impacted by Helene, which could cause supply chain disruptions for weeks or months.
