Wow! With the 2025 hurricane season wrapping up this was one of the lowest hurricane numbers in recent years. With only 13 names storms this is down from 19 last year and 23 the year before and is a 10 YEAR LOW for tropical Storm activity!
And the "experts" spent literally months telling us that this was going to a historically high year for Storm activity - NOPE it was a 10 year low, with two years of declining activity. Here are the actual numbers:
2025 - 13 named storms
2021 - 21 named storms

2020 - 31 named storms

2019 - 20 named storms

2018 - 16 named storms

2017 - 19 named storms

2016 - 16 named storms

No doubt the "experts" will be predicting another "unusually high" number of tropical storms and hurricanes next year - and who knows if they will be right or not. NICE that we are actually at a TEN YEAR LOW for named storms in the Atlantic Ocean!
