NOAA Updates 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is forecasted to be below average, with NOAA expecting 7 to 13 named storms and 2 to 6 hurricanes, influenced by a strengthening El Niño pattern. Currently, two named storms, Tropical Storm Arthur and Bertha, have formed, with El Niño conditions suppressing Atlantic tropical development through increased wind activity. Scientists predict El Niño may reach record strength later this year, further reducing the likelihood of major hurricane landfalls, although some development could still occur in the Gulf and Southeast regions.
