2025 Hypothetical Atlantic hurricane season

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active Atlantic hurricane seasons on record. The season officially began on June 1st, but as shown with the formation of Tropical Storm Andrea in May, activity is possible at any time of the year. The season was one of only 7 seasons to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes with Hurricane Melissa and Hurricane Sebastien. Melissa was the third-most intense hurricane in the Atlantic on record with wind speeds of 180 miles per hour and a minimum barometric pressure of 895 mbar. Melissa was also the most destructive storm of the season, causing $57 billion (2025 USD) in damages. The deadliest storm was Hurricane Sebastien, which caused 1,602 fatalities across Central America.
