2025 Hurricane Season Expected to Be Active — Here’s How Slocum Insurance Can Help You Prepare
As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season approaches, forecasters are urging caution. According to AccuWeather, this year is expected to bring above-average storm activity, and that means now is the time to prepare — not later.
At Slocum Insurance, we’ve been helping Rhode Islanders and New Englanders protect what matters most for over 75 years. Here’s what you need to know, and how we can support you.
⚠️ What the Forecast Says
AccuWeather’s outlook includes:
13 to 18 named storms
7 to 10 hurricanes
3 to 5 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)
This exceeds the seasonal average of 14 named storms and points to a potentially challenging year for those in coastal and inland areas alike.
🌊 Lessons from the Past: A Reminder from 2024
Last year’s Hurricane Helene was a stark wake-up call. With over 249 fatalities across the southeastern U.S. and Appalachians, it became the deadliest storm since Hurricane Katrina. It’s a painful reminder that storms can escalate quickly and leave long-lasting impacts — both personal and financial.
