When Weather Hits the Bottom Line

Did you know… 28–40% of U.S. businesses reported financial losses from extreme weather in just the last six months? That’s nearly 1 in 3 businesses.

Through mid-June, the 2025 tornado season is running well ahead of 2024 and other recent active years. As of late May, the U.S. had recorded over 960 tornadoes, already surpassing the typical annual average by a significant margin.

Insured losses in 2025 are projected to hit $145 billion - up 6% from 2024. The costs are driven by hurricanes, severe storms, floods, and wildfires.

These numbers make it clear: extreme weather is no longer a future threat, it’s a present-everyday reality impacting businesses, infrastructure, and communities across the globe.

For businesses in nearly every sector, extreme weather now means:

  • Missed deadlines
  • Supply chain disruptions
  • Staffing shortages
  • Damaged assets
  • Increased insurance costs

So why are so many companies still underestimating weather risk?
