The National Hurricane Center (NHC) released a graphic that supports our feelings of anxiety at the middle of hurricane season.

You can really see the activity of storms over the past 110 years really ramp up in August heading into September and staying quite active until November.

The 2025 Hurricane Season has been active on the Pacific Ocean side, with nine named storms already and currently TS Iona southwest of Hawaii and another potential storm that has 40% chance of development right to the south. Plus another disturbance with an 80% chance of development off the coast of Mexico.

There's always a bright side to everything. The NHC is forecasting that we shouldn't see any development in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean, or Gulf Of America for the next seven days.
