The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season came to an uncharacteristically calm close, marking the first time in a decade that no storms made landfall in the continental U.S. Despite a few powerful storms, including three Category 5 hurricanes, the season was noted for its striking contrasts and unusual quietness, especially in regions like Florida and Louisiana. Researchers attribute this unprecedented calm to a combination of factors, and many are left wondering if this year sets a new precedent. Innovations in forecasting, particularly the integration of AI technologies, have played a crucial role in understanding and predicting storm patterns, prompting discussions on the future of hurricane forecasting. As experts reflect on the season, they highlight both a lack of experience for disaster adjusters due to fewer storms and the fortunate outcomes for coastal regions.
