2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season

June 1 to November 30, 2025


Kings County, NS – With the start of hurricane season on June 1st, Kings REMO promotes Hurricane Awareness in support of building a ‘Safe and Resilient’ Kings County.  Each year, we witness the devastating impacts that hurricanes can cause.  Hurricanes are not just a threat to coastal communities.  High winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding can be felt hundreds of kilometres inland, potentially causing loss of life and catastrophic damage to property.  It is not just major Hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) that we need to worry about, but all hurricanes and post-tropical storms have the potential to cause significant damage as with Post-Tropical Storm Fiona in September 2022.

2025 Hurricane Season Forecast:

13 to 19 Named Storms (Season Average of 14)

 6-10 reaching Hurricane Strength (Season Average of 7)

3-5 becoming Major Hurricanes (Season Average of 3)

The Kings County Regional Emergency Management Organization (Kings REMO) is responsible for providing a prompt and coordinated response to emergencies that occur within its jurisdiction.

The information on this website is provided to assist residents in understanding, planning for, and responding to a variety of risks and hazards in their homes, their community and in the province.

While weather events are the most commonly considered hazards in the Kings County area, man made technical hazards are also possible, and should be considered in plans for individual, family, and public safety.
