2025 Hurricane Forecast Webinar with Jim Cantore: What Commercial Property Owners Need to Know

Register Now
The next hurricane season is approaching, and the risks to commercial properties are higher than ever. Rising ocean temperatures, shifting storm patterns, and more frequent rapid intensification events make hurricanes increasingly unpredictable and destructive. Outdated preventive measures or last-minute responses can lead to serious financial and operational consequences. 

On May 1st, renowned meteorologist Jim Cantore will present his 2025 Hurricane Forecast, offering a detailed look at this year’s storm predictions, lessons from past hurricanes, and critical preparation strategies.

In collaboration with experts like Cantore, BlueTeam also supports businesses with preparedness and response services, including weather tracking, storm damage restoration, emergency services, and more.

Key Topics to Be Covered in the Webinar

2024 Hurricane Season and Its Effects

The 2024 season saw a late surge in storm activity and increased rapid intensification events. By October, 15 tropical cyclones formed, with 10 becoming hurricanes and four reaching major status. 

Several storms stand out as case studies: 

• Hurricane Beryl: A Category 5 storm that formed unusually early, Beryl devastated the Caribbean and Gulf Coast with high winds, massive storm surges, and widespread flooding. 

• Hurricane Helene: Helene was a Category 4 storm that caused severe flooding and $225-$250 billion in damage, highlighting the growing financial impact of hurricanes. 

• Hurricane Milton: Milton rapidly intensified from a tropical depression to a major hurricane within 24 hours, catching many off guard and exposing gaps in preparation efforts.

What We Learned from the 2024 Hurricane Season

The 2024 hurricane season highlighted several emerging trends that will shape future storm response and preparedness strategies. 

• Increased Storm Activity and Economic Losses: 2024 saw 20 named storms and 10 hurricanes, causing $120 billion in damages. Rapid intensification events, driven by warmer ocean temperatures, are becoming more common. 

• Preparedness Gaps: Areas with modern stormwater systems saw reduced flooding, while regions with outdated infrastructure experienced severe damage during major storms. 

• Community-Based Resilience: Local organizations played a key role in volunteer efforts and climate adaptation advocacy. 

• Urban Planning Needs: Some areas have introduced climate-resilient infrastructure programs, while disaster readiness efforts continue to receive increased investment. 

The 2025 Hurricane Season: Anticipated Challenges and Forecasts

The 2025 hurricane season is projected to be above average, with 13 to 18 named storms expected to form. A substantial portion of these storms are anticipated to reach hurricane status, and many may intensify quickly, posing a higher risk for property damage and operational disruption. 

• Ocean Temperature Anomalies: Warmer sea surface temperatures fuel stronger hurricanes. Elevated temperatures in 2025 could lead to faster-forming, more intense storms. 

• Atmospheric Circulation Patterns: El Niño and La Niña affect wind shear, which can either strengthen or weaken hurricane development. 

• Storm Track Uncertainty: In recent years, rapid shifts in projected landfall zones have made it more difficult to pinpoint exactly where storms will strike, complicating evacuation and response planning efforts.
