The 2025 hurricane season took a dramatic turn at the end of September, as Hurricane Gabrielle formed over the exceptionally warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Experts from NOAA had already warned of an above-normal season, with ocean temperatures across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic at record highs.
By late September, Gabrielle had rapidly intensified into a Category 3 hurricane, with a minimum central pressure of 955 millibars, feeding off the unusually hot ocean surface. The storm tracked northward, sparing the Caribbean islands and the U.S. mainland from a direct hit, though its outer bands still affected some coastal regions and nearby islands.
Meteorologists are monitoring Gabrielle’s unusual path, with forecasts suggesting it may eventually loop back across the Atlantic, potentially impacting the Azores and Madeira.
At the same time, two new tropical systems are being closely observed in the northern Atlantic, with favorable conditions for development. Experts caution that the hurricane season is far from over, as hot waters continue to fuel storm growth.
For Aruba, attention remains focused on the Venezuelan coast, where rising heat and humidity have triggered cloud formations and unstable weather, increasing the risk of heavy rainfall and localized storms. Authorities emphasize the importance of vigilance as conditions remain conducive to tropical activity in the region.
