Bermuda is bracing for hurricane conditions and continued severe weather as Hurricane Imelda makes its way towards the island on October 1, 2025. Imelda and Humberto have claimed at least three lives so far as they continue to produce deadly rip currents and severe weather to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and much of the U.S. East Coast.
Hurricane Imelda formed over the Atlantic on September 30, 2025, after 2 fatalities were confirmed in Cuba due to heavy rain and flooding in the Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo. Imelda is now the fourth hurricane of the season, following Hurricane Humberto which continues to send dangerous rip currents to the U.S. East Coast.
Remnants of Hurricane Gabrielle brought extreme rain to eastern Spain on September 19 and 30, 2025, prompting red weather warnings, the suspension of classes for more than 536 000 students, road and rail disruption, and multiple emergency rescues.
One person was confirmed dead in Volusia County, Florida due to rip currents generated by Tropical Storm Imelda, and Hurricane Humberto in the Atlantic. Humberto is forecast to continue producing rip currents across the entire East Coast as Imelda intensifies.
Tropical Storm Imelda formed over the Atlantic on September 28, 2025, as Hurricane Humberto peaked at Category 5, and dropped back to Category 4. While neither of the storms is expected to make landfall over the contiguous United States, they could produce hazardous conditions for the southeastern states including Florida, South Carolina, and much of the East Coast this week.
Severe floods affecting Gila County and parts of central Arizona since September 25, 2025, left at least four people dead and created a major hazmat risk in Globe after around 1 000 propane tanks were washed into the downtown area. Multiple historic buildings in Globe sustained structural damage, prompting officials to declare the city center unsafe.
A series of atmospheric rivers (AR) is forecast to hit the U.S. West Coast from late September through early October, beginning with a strong AR that made landfall over British Columbia on September 26, 2025. Forecasts show moderate AR conditions in Washington, Oregon, and northern California on September 28, followed by a stronger system making landfall on September 30 and potentially continuing into October 7.
At least 10 people have been confirmed dead in Philippines as of September 26 due to Tropical Storm Bualoi (locally named Opong), which made landfall Eastern Samar on September 25 before crossing into Masbate and sweeping through the Bicol region. The storm left behind a trail of destruction, displacing thousands who were already reeling from the destruction left by former Super Typhoon Ragasa.
Flash flooding struck Gila county, Arizona, displacing people and causing significant damage in the Globe-Miami area on September 25, 2025.
