In May, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season, but so far it’s been pretty tame. However, that could end very soon. And people had better be prepared,

Tropical Storm Erin formed Monday in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean and could become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season later this week, forecasters say.

The Atlantic hurricane season generally spans from June to November. According to NOAA, the likelihood of above-normal activity is 50% in the current season.
