2025 Atlantic hurricane season (GiedriusforCat5)

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was an active season in which 13 tropical storms formed, 8 of which became hurricanes, 4 became majors, and one of them became a Category 5.

The season started early, with Andrea becoming one of a few May hurricanes to ever form in the Atlantic basin. June only had a tropical depression form and was below average. July was relatively average, with a storm and a hurricane forming in the month, not causing a large amount of damage.

August started late, but with a deadly storm: Dorian, which caused devastating flooding in Central America and Mexico, with 357 fatalities there. Erin was a mid season Cabo Verde major, while Fernand moved up the East Coast, both causing negligible damages. September continued the activity, with Gabrielle forming in the first quarter of the month, causing severe damages in the Carolinas as it made a Category 2 landfall there, damages totalled over 3.5 billion, as well as 32 fatalities. Humberto struck the area next, but did not contribute to the damages as much. Imelda formed halfway through the month, and caused misery as it made a Category 4 landfall in the border between Mexico and Belize, causing an unprecedented 1.3 billion and 39 deaths for the area.

Jerry became the first October storm this season, and hit South America with moderately devastating results, 25 million dollars in damage and 8 fatalities. Karen was next, an October Category 2 hurricane that went north of the Northern Antilles and hit Florida as a Category 1, causing minor damages. However, its rain caused 31 fatality in Haiti, totalling 35 fatalities. Tropical Depression Thirteen was forecast to be a rain disaster for the Gulf Coast at first but ended up not living up to expectations, resulting in minor damage for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Lorenzo was the last storm to form in October, and only managed to drop rain over Veracruz in Mexico.

November featured a big surprise, with Melissa forming early in the month, moving eastwards in the Caribbean, and rapidly intensifying, culminating in a Category 5 landfall in Puerto Rico at peak intensity, making it by far the worst storm of the season, with damages reaching 101.7 billion there, as well as 1915 fatalities.

Season effects
* not complete beyond this point yet* This is a table of the storms and their effects in the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. This table includes the storm's names, duration, peak intensity, Areas affected (bold indicates made landfall in that region at least once), damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave or a low. All of the damage figures are in 2023 USD (the listed damage figure is in millions).
