As of early October 2025, the Atlantic hurricane season has seen a [b{higher-than-expected number[/b] of major hurricanes. Three major hurricanes have formed, with Erin and Humberto reaching Category 5 intensity and Gabrielle intensifying to Category 4. While this is an above-average number of major storms, they have remained in the central Atlantic, far from land, meaning the U.S. mainland has been lucky to avoid direct impacts from them.
