Atlantic Hurricane Outlook – July 27, 2025: Calm Conditions Continue Despite Active Waves
The tropics stay quiet on July 27, 2025, but tropical waves in the deep Atlantic are being closely monitored. No development is expected in the next 7 days, but changes could come as we approach August.

The Atlantic basin remains free of named storms this morning, with no tropical cyclone formation expected over the next seven days. However, meteorologists are closely monitoring several tropical waves in the deep eastern Atlantic that could signal a developing pattern as we head into August.
Atlantic Basin: Quiet—but Watchful
No active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that no tropical development is expected over the next 7 days.
Tropical waves in the eastern and central Atlantic continue to be monitored for organization.
Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean: No Significant Activity
No low-pressure disturbances currently under watch.
Conditions in the Gulf remain stable, with typical afternoon thunderstorms but no signs of tropical development.
Lower Caribbean waters remain under fresh easterly trade winds, with rather isolated convection near Central America.
Tropical Waves: Deep Atlantic Features to Monitor
According to the NHC’s Tropical Weather Discussion:
A tropical wave near 27°W (south of 17°N) is moving west at ~10 kt, with scattered moderate convection noted between 5°N and 9°N.
A stronger wave near 54°W (south of 22°N) is moving west at 15–20 kt, with scattered convection between 5°N–23°N.
An area of low pressure embedded in the monsoon trough near 8°N44°W is also aiding scattered convection but remains disorganized.
None of these systems currently have the structure required for classification, but they inhabit regions where sea surface temperatures and wind shear may soon become more conducive to development.
Environmental Conditions Snapshot
The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) remains strong across the eastern Atlantic, suppressing mid-level moisture and convection.
Wind shear in the central Atlantic remains moderate to high, limiting tropical organization—though forecasts suggest a gradual reduction heading into early August.
Sea surface temperatures across the Main Development Region (MDR) remain above average, providing energy should conditions improve later this month.

Florida Forecast
Highs around 90 °F with coastal humidity making it feel hotter.
Rain Chance: 40–50% for scattered afternoon thunderstorms driven by sea breeze convergence.
Winds: Light and variable, shifting to southeasterly in the afternoon.
No tropical impacts expected today.

Looking Ahead: August May Bring Change
Though today’s conditions remain tranquil, the presence of several tropical waves moving into warmer Atlantic waters—combined with weakening Saharan dust and decreasing wind shear—suggest a gradual shift toward a more active setup. Historically, the first week of August often kicks off heightened tropical activity.

TL;DR
Atlantic Hurricane Forecast for July 27, 2025
No tropical storms are expected this week — the Atlantic remains quiet.
Three tropical waves are being monitored across the basin. None are showing strong signs of development yet.
Sea surface temperatures are hot and rising — especially in the Gulf and Caribbean — setting the stage for activity in August.
Wind shear and dry air (Saharan dust) continue to limit development for now.
Florida and the Gulf Coast: Typical summer weather—hot, humid, and scattered afternoon storms.
Prep Tip: Now is the time to stock up on essentials and finalize your hurricane communication plan.
No immediate threats, but stay alert. The quiet won’t last forever.
