Hurricane season officially begins June 1, and just like every season there are 21 names available for use.

In Detail: Notables About 2025's Names

  • A New "D" Name: Dexter will take over on this season's list for 2019's Hurricane Dorian, which was the only retired name from that year. Dorian devastated Grand Bahama and Great Abaco Islands as a Category 5, causing catastrophic storm surge and wind damage. It then took a close swipe at the Southeast U.S. Coast before making landfall in North Carolina's Outer Banks as a Category 2.
  • Two Names Never Used: Van and Wendy are the only two names from this year's list that haven't been previously used for an Atlantic storm. The list was first used in 1983, which is just a few years after the naming process was overhauled to include both female and male names. We should note that several of the names that were on the original 1983 list have been retired since then.
 

"We expect 19 storms to form in 2025, nine of which will become hurricanes and four of which will reach Category 3 status or stronger," the release stated.

"Sea surface temperatures across the eastern and central Atlantic are generally warmer than normal, but not as warm as they were last year at this time," a release from Colorado State reads.
 

Snip
The current outlook predicts a 60% chance of an "above-normal" hurricane season, with between 13 to 19 named storms. Six to 10 of those are expected to strengthen into hurricanes, and three to five could become major hurricanes, forecasters said.
