00:00The 2025 hurricane season just made history, and not in a good way.

00:05AccuWeather has revised its hurricane forecast for 2025, and here's why it matters.

00:10Originally, we were expecting up to 18 named storms.

00:14But now? That number has dropped to 16.

00:17Why the change?

00:19This season has been unusually quiet.

00:21So quiet, in fact, that for the first time in nearly 10 years,

00:25the peak passed without a single named storm.

00:27That's only happened three times in the last 30 years.

00:30So what's holding the storms back?

00:32Dry air, Saharan dust, wind shear, and cooler Atlantic waters.

00:37These conditions are choking out storm formation

00:39during what's usually the most active part of the year.

00:42But don't relax just yet.

00:44The Gulf of Mexico is heating up, and fast.

00:47It's now at record-breaking temperatures.

00:50Meteorologists say that if a storm hits this region,

00:53it could explode into a major hurricane with very little warning,

00:56and the danger zones?

00:58The Gulf Coast, the Carolinas, Atlantic Canada,

01:00and even Puerto Rico are all on high alert.

01:03So while the season started quiet,

01:05experts warn the second half could be explosive.
