Will hurricane season start early this year? Recent trends suggest yes

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season could start early with potential storm development in the western Caribbean before June 1.
This scenario is supported by the fact that in seven out of the previous ten seasons, at least one named storm appeared before the official June 1 start date, with forecasting models also suggesting an earlier onset this year.
Unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf and southern Caribbean, which are among the highest on record for early May, support favorable conditions for storms.
Colorado State University researchers predict an above-average 17 named storms this season, noting warm Atlantic and Caribbean waters as contributing factors.
The early start and warm waters suggest a busy season, though an early onset does not necessarily mean more storms overall.
