Imelda formed on September 28, 2025 near the Bahamas. Two days later, on September 30, Imelda became a hurricane. As Imelda tracked close to the Eastern Seaboard, it brought high surf and dangerous rip currents up and down the East Coast.

Hurricane Imelda’s track was heavily influenced by nearby Hurricane Humberto. The two systems were extremely close to each other, causing them to slightly rotate around a central point between, also known as the Fujiwhara effect.

Early on October 1, Imelda slowly strengthened, obtaining sustained winds of 90 mph (145 km/h) as a Category 2 storm. Over the next 24 hours, Hurricane Imelda approached Bermuda with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain. Though hurricane-force winds were reported on the island, they caused only minor damage.

After pushing past Bermuda on October 7, Imelda became a post-tropical low, beginning its extratropical transition.
