Climate Forecasts Crumble as 2025 Hurricane Season Fizzles Out

Washington, D.C. - Earlier this year, America was promised a turbulent 2025 hurricane season, with major outlets amplifying dire forecasts of up to 19 storms and warnings that the nation was at heightened risk due to alleged staffing issues. Reports framed the year as another climate-driven threat barreling toward the U.S. But now that the season has closed, the panic proved baseless: not one named storm made landfall on the continental United States this year —something not seen since 2015.

"The gap between what the 'experts' predicted and what actually happened is enormous," said Daniel Turner, Executive Director of Power The Future. "Reporters and climate activists tried to spin routine weather into a political weapon, even shamelessly suggesting Trump Administration decisions put Americans at risk. The outcome speaks for itself: the storm counts were off, the intensity claims were off, and the U.S. saw zero hurricane landfalls. They said there would be more storms this year because you're using a gas stove and they are wrong."

2025 Hurricane Season Prediction vs. Reality

Prediction via Washington Post:

• Up to 19 named storms

• 6-10 Hurricanes

• Up to 5 "major" hurricanes

• Season prediction - "above average" fueled by human caused climate change with warnings that the Trump Administration created staffing issues leaving the U.S. unprepared.

Reality from NOAA:

• 13 named storms.

• 5 hurricanes

• 4 hurricanes category 3 or higher

• Zero hurricanes making landfall in the continental U.S.

NBC News reported that during the 2025 hurricane season "Storm activity typically peaks in late August and early September, but not this year…For about three weeks during the peak of the season, it was completely dead."
