Hurricane Humberto (2025)

Storm Active: September 24-

On September 18, a vigorous tropical wave entered the tropical Atlantic ocean from the west African coastline. It tracked west-northwestward and steadily organized until it was designated Tropical Storm Humberto northeast of the Lesser Antilles on September 24. Despite some wind shear out of the west early on, Humberto steadily strengthened from formation. On the 25th, spiral bands and a central core appeared on satellite imagery. The storm became a hurricane the next morning. Meanwhile, the storm's forward speed slowed significantly due to weak steering currents.

As of 5:00am EDT on September 26, 2025, Hurricane Humberto had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, a minimum central pressure of 990 mb, and was moving toward the northwest at 3 mph.
