This phenomenon could occur between May 15 and 22 this year, just when an above-average hurricane season is expected to start in the North Atlantic area.

According to the Associates Times website, reports cite unusually warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures and a low probability of El Niño conditions as key factors driving the increase in hurricane activity.

Experts converge that 17 named storms and nine hurricanes will occur, and of those, four may be major, surpassing those of 2024.

A report from AccuWeather warned that the first tropical storm of 2025 could be expected as early as May, well before the official start of the 2025 hurricane season.

Tropical storms that start early in the season are often unpredictable and move quickly, creating wet conditions in Caribbean nations.
