What the Evidence Shows
The claim consists of two main components: the number of flash flood warnings issued so far in 2025 and whether this number represents a record high for the National Weather Service (NWS). Evidence from multiple sources confirms that 2025 has seen an unusually high volume of flash flood warnings. According to a report from Yahoo News, the NWS has not issued more flash flood warnings through July in any previous year than it has in 2025, indicating a record pace.
While exact cumulative totals for the entire year are not explicitly stated in all sources, the figure of nearly 3,100 warnings aligns with the reported surge and is consistent with the trend of increased extreme rainfall events noted by CNN and Weather.

The claim is nuanced by the fact that these numbers are current as of mid-2025 and may increase further by year-end. Additionally, improvements in warning dissemination and reporting may influence totals compared to past years.
