The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been exceptionally quiet, with no hurricanes forming as of September 12, marking the latest date in a modern season without any storms. This slow start is attributed to a powerful El Niño and unusually strong vertical wind shear, which have suppressed tropical development. The season has seen only five tropical storms so far, well below the average, with historically low energy levels and ongoing atmospheric conditions that continue to inhibit hurricane formation. Despite the current inactivity, severe storms could still develop later in the season.
