Using data collected throughout the season, the forecast team at CSU has adjusted their predictions across several key categories:
- Named storms: Increased from 23 to 25 (the 1991-2020 average is 14.4).
- Total hurricanes: Increased from 11 to 12 (the 1991-2020 average is 7.2).
- Major hurricanes: Increased from five to six (the 1991-2020 average is 3.2).
- Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE): Increased from 210 to 230 (the 1991-2020 average is 123).

According to Philip Klotzbach, a specialist in Atlantic basin hurricane forecasts at CSU, one significant factor contributing to this forecast is the potential development of La Niña.

This natural weather phenomenon results in cooler water upwellings along the Pacific coast of South America, leading to global weather patterns that include less wind over the tropical Atlantic. This decrease in wind shear typically results in increased hurricane activity.

Additionally, despite some cooling in parts of the Atlantic, most of the North Atlantic remains much warmer than normal, further favoring hurricane activity. This anomalous warmth is a primary reason for CSU’s prediction of such an active season.
