The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, starting Sunday, is expected to feature an above-normal number of storms, with a 60% chance of 13 to 19 named storms, including 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The names for this season include Andrea, Barry, and Chantal, among others, and are part of a rotating list managed by the World Meteorological Organization. Naming storms aids communication about forecasts and warnings, and names are retired for particularly deadly or costly storms.
