Hurricane Season 2025: Hurricanes, Cyclones and Typhoons

Everything you need to know to stay safe and informed throughout the season.

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are no longer limited to predictable regions. As climate change drives more frequent and severe weather events, organisations must consider how to maintain operational continuity, including protecting their travellers.
The expanding reach of tropical storms now includes areas once considered low-risk, such as parts of western Europe or regions far from open water in North America. For risk and travel managers, that shift calls for a broader perspective and more adaptable response strategies.

For businesses with people on the move, these storms present layered risks, from immediate travel disruptions and infrastructure damage to long-term health concerns and logistical challenges. Flight cancellations, blocked transport routes and power outages can derail plans in moments.

Being reactive is no longer enough; proactive planning is essential. This means building flexibility into travel policies, identifying trusted accommodation with robust disaster protocols and ensuring employees are trained on emergency response procedures. Emergency supplies, evacuation plans and reliable communication channels should all be in place well before any disaster strikes.

In this informer, we share practical guidance to help businesses minimise disruption, protect travellers and remain resilient in the face of increasingly unpredictable conditions.

In recent years, rising sea temperatures and shifting weather patterns have increased the frequency and intensity of tropical storms globally. While the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans have long been prone to such events, other areas such as Central Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East are now facing them more frequently.
While devastating in their immediate impact, hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons also bring a wide range of health risks that can affect both travellers and local populations.
When a tropical storm is approaching, it is vital to monitor official warnings and have emergency plans in place to ensure traveller safety and wellbeing.
