The federal weather agency forecasts six to 10 hurricanes — and three to five major storms. NOAA’s Atlantic hurricane season outlook was released during a press conference Thursday, 10 days before the June 1 start of the season. Ken Graham, director of the National Weather Service, and other NOAA experts urged the public to get ready.

But NOAA and other forecast services say that the 2025 season may not be as active last last year's. In line with earlier outlooks, NOAA officials say they expect another active Atlantic hurricane season — and insisted that the cuts by President Donald Trump‘s administration will not affect the quality of forecasting.
