The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have 13-18 named tropical storms, of which 7-10 will strengthen into major hurricanes.
According to AccuWeather's leading weather forecaster, Alex DaSilva, this year's storms could be as intense as 2024 - one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record.
With unusually warm sea conditions, storms could form as early as May, before the official hurricane season begins on June 1.
Record high ocean temperatures are considered the " detonator" for super typhoons. The Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean are seeing above-average temperatures, creating ideal conditions for the storm to develop rapidly.
Experts warn that rising ocean temperatures are a major factor driving stronger, more dangerous storms.
AccuWeather said the number of storms expected to make landfall in the US could reach six, higher than the average of four each year from 1990 to 2020.
In particular, high-risk areas directly affected include Texas, Louisiana, the west coast of Florida, North Carolina and even Atlantic Canada.
Lessons from 2024 show that just one strong storm is enough to create a disastrous storm season.
Last year, five super typhoons (Helene, Milton, Beryl, Debby, Francine) and one unnamed subtropical storm caused $500 billion in damage.
AccuWeather meteorologist Jonathan Porter stressed that while the number of storms may be lower than last year, just one strong storm making landfall in a densely populated area is enough to create a hurricane season.
One of the biggest concerns this year is that storms could suddenly strengthen just before making landfall, as happened in 2024. With the amount of heat accumulated underwater higher than average, this risk is even greater.
Experts say that due to the high ocean temperature, this year's storm season may start as early as May, instead of June as usual. This may give people less time to prepare, increasing the level of danger.
Meteorological experts warn that from now on, everyone needs to prepare a plan to respond to storms, especially residents in high-risk areas. Weather forecasts and climate conditions show that 2025 will continue to be a storm season that cannot be underestimated.
According to the Vietnam National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in 2025, the East Sea is likely to experience 11 to 13 storms and tropical depressions, of which about 5 to 6 storms can directly affect the mainland of Vietnam.
Notably, the risk of strong storms of level 12 or higher is still high.
From April to June 2025, storms and tropical depressions will operate in the East Sea and directly affect the mainland, equivalent to the average of many years - about 1.8 storms, and about 0.3 storms will make landfall.
