Florida’s Calmer Hurricane Season | Jacksonville News

Florida’s hurricane season is looking unusually calm, with major storm chances slashed nearly in half thanks to a cooling Atlantic and a developing El Niño. June was the quietest since 2019, and experts predict fewer storms overall—maybe 11 to 13—with just a 24% chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S. coast. But history warns: one storm can turn a quiet season into disaster—like Hurricane Andrew in 1992. While conditions aren’t ripe for big storms now, complacency is risky. The Atlantic’s surface temps are the coolest in five years, and if no storms form by mid-July, it’ll be the slowest start since 2009. Past years with similar setups still delivered devastating hurricanes—so preparation remains critical.
