Hurricane Season runs roughly 5 months every year between June 1st and the end of November, and each year we see an increased chance of hurricanes hitting us here at the Jersey Shore.

A Look Back: What Happened During NJ's 2024 Hurricane Season?

In 2024, Jersey was lucky enough to only have one major storm roll through, and that was Hurricane Debby, which was still a pretty mild hurricane.

We did have several tropical storms hit Jersey last year, which caused some issues, but overall, Jersey made it through last year's hurricane season fairly unscathed.

This year could be different, as NOAA has released its predictions for the 2025 hurricane season, and it looks rough to say the least.

• A 10 percent chance that we have a below-average hurricane season,
• A 30 percent chance we have a mild to normal hurricane season
• A 60 percent chance that we have an above-average and more active hurricane season.

How Many Storms Could Hit NJ During The 2025 Hurricane Season?

NOAA's prediction is that we'll see 13 to 19 named storms make landfall this hurricane season, which could bring winds that are 39 MPH or higher, and of those 13-19 storms, they expect 6-10 to be hurricanes which bring winds of 74 MPH or higher, and that's not all.

Of those possible hurricanes, NOAA expects 3-5 of those hurricanes to be major weather events that could cause severe damage to homes, and bring winds upwards of 111 MPH.

What Can You Do To Prepare Your Home For Hurricane Season?

You can prepare for hurricane season pretty easily.

You should caulk up any seals you see around your house, and be prepared to board your windows and garage doors when we're facing the likelihood of a strong hurricane.

Make sure your insurance is up to date, and maybe invest in flood insurance if you think you need it.

My wife and I also made sure to have a company come back and trim back some massive tree branches that were over our roof, just in case we do have an above-average season this year.
