00:00Welcome back to AccuWeather Ahead. We have seen a wild 2025 hurricane season so far in the Atlantic.
00:08Hurricane Aaron was our strongest that rapidly intensified in the Atlantic to a major Category 5 storm.
00:142025 is also the first season since 1935, the first in 90 years where the first three hurricanes reached major status.
00:24That's a Category 3 or stronger. And then 2025 had a record-tying stretch of inactivity during the climatological peak of the season.
00:34And this record-tying lull inactivity has been followed up by the most active late September stretch in history.
00:41It's tied for that. Also, hurricanes Umberto and Imelda are the closest hurricanes in physical proximity to each other in nearly 60 years.
00:51And we have also not seen a landfalling hurricane in the U.S. this season.
00:56But six in the last ten years, we have had at least one landfalling hurricane after September 30th.
01:02But don't let your guard down just yet because as we head throughout October, yes, we are past the climatological peak of hurricane and named storm season.
01:12But look at this. We're still in a very active time here as we head throughout early to mid, even late parts of October.
01:19We're still going to be watching out for an elevated number of named storms, even hurricanes possible.
01:25But looking at what we've had so far, once again, Aaron was a storm so far.
01:29The biggest storm we've had that this season got up to a Category 5.
01:33We've also seen some impacts to the U.S.
01:35Chantal right there was the one where we did have the biggest impacts as far as any impacts there on land.
01:42We're still going to be watching out for the latest here as we head throughout October because we're still in a very active stretch of the year.
01:47Stay right here with AccuWeather Ahead. We'll be right back.
