The World Could See as Many as 20 Additional Hurricanes and Tropical Storms by the End of the Century

The drought finally ended with Hurricane Irma in 2017, and the 2025 season finished without a single US landfalling hurricane.

So while this prediction still has over 70 years to go, it’s not looking good at this time.
