Colorado State University Maintains Hurricane Season Forecast
Scientists at Colorado State University are sticking with their prediction for a busy hurricane season in 2025.
They expect a total of nine hurricanes, with four of them being very strong.
These strong hurricanes are called major hurricanes and have really fast winds.
The scientists are keeping an eye on the weather, as conditions in the Pacific Ocean could change things, but for now, they think the hurricane season will be more active than usual, lasting until the end of November.
