Quiet at the peak of 2025 Atlantic hurricane season — what's next? Sept. 10 is climatologically the peak of the season



Tracking The Tropics

Sept. 10 marks the climatological peak of the season. But right now, the Atlantic basin is a ghost town.

The tropical weather outlook shows no new storm development for the next seven days. The reason: there is a lot of dry air and Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic Ocean. The plume blowing off the coast of Africa inhibits storm development.

Saharan dust coming off of the African continent is limiting tropical development.

Conditions like water temperature and minimal wind shear are ideal for tropical development this time of year. Historically, the peak of the season features the greatest number of named storms and some of the strongest hurricanes. (Multiple named storms at the same time and strong hurricanes can still occur at any point of the season.)

September 10th marks the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season for number of named storms and hurricanes.

September is typically the most active month of hurricane season. Many of the storms begin as waves coming off the coast of Africa. The track is often through the central Atlantic and then curves northward at the Leeward Islands to the East Coast. There is another "hot spot" for development in the Gulf of Mexico.

The first half of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has only featured six named storms. All were tropical storms, except for Hurricane Erin, which rapidly intensified and peaked as a Category 5 storm.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's prediction for an above-normal hurricane season remains "on track," from an Aug. 7 update. The updated forecast is 13 to 18 named storms (with winds of 39 mph or greater, of which five to nine could turn into hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or greater). Two to five storms could develop into major hurricanes (category 3 or stronger with winds at or stronger than 111 mph).

Fortunately every time hurricanes developed in the Atlantic the northern jetstream dragged down troughs of LP with very large associated cold fronts that blocked approaching hurricanes on the east coast.

The east coast has been very very lucky this summer.

So far.....

Wanna place bets?
