Tropical weather update: November 4, 2025

It has been a week since Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, hitting the island as a monster category 5 with 185 mph winds. Tropics have calmed down since then and tropical cyclone activity is not expected in the Atlantic Basin during the next 7 days. Hurricane season lasts for another 26 days, ending on November 30th. Any chance for additional tropical activity for the Gulf for the rest of this month is extremely low. There's still a slight risk for possible tropical systems to develop in the Western Atlantic and Western Caribbean. But overall activity is winding down as the season gets closer to ending.
