Tropical Storm Alvin, the first named storm of the 2025 hurricane season, has arrived and is making its way over the Eastern Pacific Ocean. However, there are surely more storms behind it. In fact, there are as many as 18 named storms and 10 hurricanes forecast for this year, according to Mexico’s National Weather Service.

Not only does Hurricane Alvin mark the first storm of the season in the Eastern Pacific, but it’s the first across all ocean basins throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

While we wait on the other named storms for the hurricane season, Tropical Storm Alvin is forecast to stay far enough offshore that its effects on the Mexican coast will be minimal, limited primarily to larger swells and stronger rip currents along coastal areas.

The official Atlantic hurricane season occurs from June 1st to November 30th.. While most hurricanes are expected between mid-August and mid-October, with the peak typically around September, tropical cyclone activity can sometimes occur before and after these dates.
