Welcome to another Aurora Generator Podcast. This episode breaks down the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season forecast and explains why this year’s outlook demands serious attention and preparation.
Meteorologists from NOAA, Colorado State University, and international climate organizations are all forecasting an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season for 2025. With warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and a likely shift toward ENSO-neutral or La Niña conditions, this year’s climate signals align to create a potentially more active storm season than usual.
The numbers tell the story:
- NOAA expects 13–19 named storms, 6–10 of which will become hurricanes, and 3–5 will reach major hurricane status.
- Colorado State’s April forecast calls for 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes—each above the 30-year average.
But it's not just about numbers. In this podcast, we explain the key environmental drivers behind the forecast, like Atlantic water temperatures, wind shear, and tropical disturbances originating from the West African monsoon. You'll also learn how these systems form and intensify, and the science behind forecasting models.
More importantly, we focus on preparedness, because even if just one hurricane makes landfall, it could have devastating impacts where you live. We highlight:
- What to do before a hurricane strikes
- How to prepare both evacuation and shelter-in-place plans
- What supplies to gather in advance
- How to protect your home or business
- The importance of flood insurance and safeguarding documents
We'll also cover what to expect during a storm, how to stay safe indoors or on the road, and the dangers of storm surge, flooding, and power outages. Plus, we bust a few common myths, like why taping windows doesn’t work and waiting for confirmation of danger can be a deadly mistake.
Whether you live near the coast or hundreds of miles inland, the impacts of a hurricane can reach you. We urge everyone to take this season seriously, stay informed, and prepare.
At Aurora Generators, we understand how critical reliable backup power is during and after hurricanes. For more information on diesel-powered backup solutions explicitly built for emergencies, visit https://www.AuroraGenerators.com
Stay safe. Stay prepared. And thanks for listening to the Aurora Generator Podcast.
