Tropical Storm Andrea spun to life this week as the first named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, though the system quickly fizzled out. Satellite images captured its brief swirl over the open Atlantic.

It developed in open waters west of the Azores and hundreds of miles east of Bermuda. It was only briefly strong enough to count as a tropical storm, but Andrea nonetheless entered the record books as the named storm to occur the farthest northeast during June.

An area of stormy weather in the open Atlantic Ocean became Tropical Storm Andrea on Tuesday morning, the first of the Atlantic hurricane season, according to the National Hurricane Center.
