As of the morning of June 27, 2025, the National Hurricane Center and NOAA report no active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, or Pacific basins. In the past 24 hours, there have been no new hurricane alerts, warnings, or advisories issued. This relative calm follows the recent dissipation of Tropical Storm Andrea, which had briefly formed in the central Atlantic earlier in the week but quickly lost strength and became a post-tropical low by June 25. No immediate or residual impacts to coastal communities were recorded from Andrea, as the system remained well offshore throughout its short lifespan and struggled with unfavorable development conditions such as cooler sea surface temperatures and wind shear[6].

Despite the current lull, both NOAA and major weather forecasting groups continue to caution that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to be significantly above average. NOAA predicts between 13 and 19 named storms for the season, six to ten of which could become hurricanes, with up to four potentially strengthening into major hurricanes. This forecast aligns with other independent assessments, each highlighting above-normal risks due to warm Atlantic waters and conducive atmospheric conditions[2][7].

A major development from the past 24 hours is the abrupt discontinuation of real-time microwave data from key weather satellites, jointly operated by NOAA and the US Department of Defense. As of June 30, hurricane forecasters—including the National Hurricane Center—will no longer have access to crucial satellite data used to track storm development and structure over open water. This sudden service termination, prompted by undisclosed defense-related concerns, is expected to hinder the precision of hurricane forecasts, particularly for rapidly forming or intensifying storms far from land and flight reconnaissance routes. The meteorological community broadly acknowledges that this loss could increase the risk of late-developing threats for coastal populations, sometimes referred to as a sunrise surprise[5].

Looking ahead, forecasters are urging coastal residents to remain vigilant as the hurricane season enters its more active months. The loss of real-time satellite data is likely to challenge storm prediction and preparedness, particularly if another system rapidly develops. Meteorologists emphasize preparedness now, as the next named storm could form with little warning, and the season’s peak is still to come[2][5][7].
