This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. The 2025 season has produced four named storms through August 4th, all topping out at tropical-storm strength, with no hurricanes yet. Historically, the first Atlantic hurricane forms in early August, so 2025 is running close to schedule on counts but behind on intensity. Since 2015, 42% of U.S. counties have faced tropical-storm-force winds—concentrated along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboards. Atlantic hurricane season officially spans from June to November, but only a sliver of total activity usually occurs before August. That makes early-season developments a useful pulse check on what may lie ahead. So far, 2025’s pulse is steady but far from frantic. A Measured Start to 2025 The graphic above, created by USAFacts using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data, plots every Atlantic system since 2015 by the month it formed and the strongest category it reached. Green dots denote tropical storms, blue dots Category 1–2 hurricanes, and purple dots Category 3+ “major” hurricanes. So far in 2025, the dots are sparse: four storms, none exceeding tropical-storm strength. By early August a typical season averages three named storms, so this year is slightly ahead of the curve. That said, it’s far calmer than 2020, which was the early-season outlier.

winds since 2015. The deepest purples hug the Gulf Coast, Florida peninsula, and the Outer Banks, but inland regions from Georgia’s wiregrass to eastern North Carolina also light up, evidence that wind impacts reach far beyond shorelines. For perspective on how damaging these systems can be, see our ranking of the costliest hurricanes to hit the U.S. Looking Ahead Climatology shows the first hurricane typically spins up in early to mid-August, with major-category hurricanes following later that month. Warm sea-surface temperatures and a likely transition toward neutral ENSO conditions could still unlock the ingredients for rapid intensification. In short: a quiet opening is no guarantee of a quiet finish. As peak season approaches, preparedness remains key for coastal communities.

Key Takeaways The top 10 sectors attracted $1 trillion in FDI in 2024 Renewable energy led with 27% of the total FDI across the top 10, followed by the communications sector The Asia-Pacific region was the biggest recipient of foreign investment in 2024 Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows provide a picture of which industries global investors believe have the strongest growth potential. In 2024, the top 10 sectors for FDI accounted for $1 trillion in foreign investments. This chart ranks the top 10 sectors by total FDI inflows in 2024, based on data on greenfield investments from The fDi Report 2025. Clean Energy Remains the Top FDI Sector Renewable energy led all sectors with $270.1 billion in FDI in 2024, accounting for 27% of the global total. However, inflows in the sector declined by $103 billion from 2023 levels, with wind projects seeing a $33 billion decrease year-over-year. Here’s the full ranking of the top 10 FDI sectors in 2024: RankSectorFDI in 2024Share of Total 1Renewable Energy$270.1B27.0% 2Communications$165.7B16.6% 3Semiconductors$120.3B12.0% 4Real Estate$92.2B9.2% 5Coal, Oil, & Gas$89.1B8.9% 6Metals$72.8B7.3% 7Transportation & Warehousing$54.6B5.5% 8Electronic Components$49.3B4.9% 9Software & IT Services$47.5B4.7% 10Automotive OEM$38.7B3.9% -Total$1,000.3B100.0% Communications follows as the second-largest sector by FDI inflows in 2024, with total FDI increasing by nearly 84% compared to 2023. Data centers were the main attraction within this sector, accounting for $146.9 billion in FDI. Meanwhile, foreign investment in semiconductors more than doubled in 2024. The sector is highly capital-intensive, with the average semiconductor FDI project representing over $823 million in value. The real estate sector attracted $92.2 billion in FDI across more than 1,000 projects, up 9.2% year-over-year and marking the highest figure since 2018. Together with renewables, the coal, oil, and gas sector makes energy the biggest overall theme for foreign investment in 2024, with energy-related projects making up around 36% of the total. However, FDI in coal, oil, and gas declined by around 15% in 2024. Foreign investment in the electronic components sector saw the biggest fall, recording a 55% decrease from 2023. This decline was largely attributable to a sharp fall in investments in the battery sub-sector. Which Regions Received the Most FDI? The Asia-Pacific region was the largest recipient of foreign investment in 2024, accounting for over $393 billion in FDI. India was the leading destination for FDI in the region, with over 1,000 projects attracting an estimated $108.6 billion. Europe ranks second with around $311 billion in FDI, followed by North America at $268 billion. Foreign investment in North America grew by 61.1% in 2024, with the semiconductor sector alone accounting for $74.6 billion in FDI inflows.
