The public is being told to prepare itself for above-normal storm activity during this year's hurricane season has already started.
On June 1, the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) issued a statement saying that the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season had begun on that day and would run until November 30.
The statement said the US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasted an above-normal season owing to warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Caribbean, coupled with neutral El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions which can reduce wind shear (the change in speed and direction of wind over a short distance) and favour storm development.
