For the first time in ten years, not a single hurricane made landfall along the North American east coast during the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. This significant absence occurred despite forecasts from Colorado State University suggesting an above-average activity level.
The scientific consensus has long been that increasing global temperatures would lead to more intense Atlantic hurricanes and increased frequency of storm landfalls along coastal regions. However, the quiet summer months proved this assumption incorrect yet again. AccuWeather chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter attributed the lack of major storms primarily to “unique atmospheric conditions” and cited luck as a significant factor.
Interestingly, climate models failed to accurately predict the low activity during hurricane season. While scientists projected increased danger from warming oceans, the reality was far different, with North America experiencing its calmest Atlantic hurricane period in recent memory regarding landfalls.
This pattern continues a broader trend challenging alarmist predictions about climate impacts. Even within their own domain of weather forecasting, there is evidence contradicting much of the foundational narrative driving current environmental policies and media coverage.
