The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced its predictions for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, calling for an above-average number of storms. In a series of forecasts, NOAA emphasizes that the upcoming season is expected to be more active than normal, driven by factors such as warm ocean temperatures and potential weather patterns. As millions of Americans are urged to prepare emergency supplies in anticipation of the potentially severe storms, concerns grow over the impacts of budget cuts on disaster preparedness. Experts emphasize that regions like South Florida should remain vigilant, regardless of current forecasts, as predictions point towards an active season ahead.
