Analysis: Areas most exposed to hurricane risk this year

A wind risk model for the upcoming hurricane season

After publishing yesterday’s post about the start of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season, I received a couple of questions along a similar line of thinking:

Is there a greater risk for some areas during this combination of oceanic phases than there is for others during different combination of phases?

As your resident hurricane climatologist and geographer, I’m happy to take a stab at answering that question!

Hurricane climatology isn’t just about how many storms we get or even how strong they are, but also where they tend to hit.
