The Caribbean is constantly challenged by hurricanes, natural phenomena that can wreak havoc on coastal communities and regional infrastructure. With the imminent arrival of the 2025 hurricane season, it is crucial to be prepared and take preventive measures to minimize risks and protect lives and property.
Hurricane season in The Caribbean – 2025 predictions
The first official forecast for the 2025 hurricane season is now available and the signs are not to be taken lightly. Colorado State University (CSU) anticipates an “above average” period, with:
- 7 named storms.
- 9 hurricanes.
- 4 major hurricanes (category 3 or higher).
- And a worrisome 56% probability that a major hurricane will impact a Caribbean island.
This projection exceeds the historical average and represents a 2025 hurricane season with high impact potential for the region.
Hurricane season in Puerto Rico – 2025 predictions
The hurricane season in Puerto Rico in recent years has been challenging.
- In 2017, Puerto Rico was affected by two major hurricanes: Irma, which passed north of the island, and Maria, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, causing catastrophic damage and a humanitarian crisis.
- In 2019, Hurricane Dorian passed north of the island, causing power outages and localized flooding.
While it is not possible to anticipate with certainty whether Puerto Rico will be directly affected by hurricanes in 2025, a vulnerable environment that could compromise the stability of the energy system, logistics and business operations throughout the island is foreseen.
Experts recommend not focusing solely on the center of the cyclone. Storm surge, heavy rains, prolonged power outages and fuel shortages can generate significant impacts, even if the hurricane does not directly affect.
That’s why advance planning is key. Years of experience have shown us that having a business continuity plan in place can make all the difference. And that plan starts with guaranteed access to fuel, energy autonomy and reliable logistics solutions.
Is your business prepared for the 2025 hurricane season in the Caribbean and Puerto Rico?
April through June is the ideal time to structure your contingency plan. Don’t wait for a warning to be issued before taking action. We invite you to ask yourself these key questions:
- Is your generator ready and stocked?
- Do you have sufficient diesel or gasoline storage?
- Do you have a reliable supplier to back you up during an emergency?
- Can your operation stay up and running if extended outages occur?
