The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be the 171st season on record and will run from June 1 to November 30, 2025. The season will start with the formation of Tropical Storm Arlene on June 1, 2025, and will end with the dissipation of Tropical Storm Bret on November 30, 2025. The season will feature 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be an active season, with above-average activity. The season will be influenced by a number of factors, including the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). The ENSO is currently in a neutral phase, but is expected to transition to a La Nia phase in the summer of 2025. The AMO is currently in a warm phase, which is also expected to contribute to an active hurricane season.
