NORFOLK, Va. — Each year, as the Atlantic hurricane season begins, one consistent and powerful atmospheric feature makes its presence known—dust. Not just any dust, but vast plumes originating from the Sahara Desert that travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic. This recurring phenomenon, known as the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), plays a critical role in shaping tropical weather patterns and supporting ecosystems along the way.

NORFOLK, Va. — NOAA has released its 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season forecast, and it points to a heightened likelihood of above-normal tropical activity across the basin once again. The agency is calling for a busy season, projecting 13 to 19 named storms, of which six to 10 are expected to strengthen into hurricanes. Among those, three to five could become major hurricanes, defined as Category 3 or higher, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

NORFOLK, Va. — Hurricane season begins earlier in the Eastern Pacific, starting on May 15, while the Atlantic season officially kicks off a bit later, on June 1. Although both regions lie within the tropics, this timing difference reflects how each ocean basin warms and becomes conducive to storm development. In the Eastern Pacific, conditions become favorable for hurricanes sooner due to a combination of geographic and atmospheric factors.
