Activity is tracked in terms of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulated_cyclone_energy. This Wikipedia page has a list of previous Atlantic hurricane seasons by ACE.
If the value is 10 or more ACE away from one of the cutoff values, this market resolves in January 2025 to whatever value is listed on Wikipedia. If it is close to a cutoff, the market resolves after the reanalysis of all storms is completed (usually in April) to account for postseason adjustments in ACE.
The last ten years had the following activity:
Near normal: 2022
Above normal: 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2025
Hyperactive: 2017, 2020, 2024
The least active season in recorded history was 1914, while the most active season was 1933.
