Atlantic Hurricane Season Goes Silent | Salt Lake City News
from Salt Lake City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
This hurricane season in the Atlantic is eerily quiet—record-breaking calm thanks to a powerful El Niño chilling the Pacific and sabotaging storm formation. Zero hurricanes so far, just five weak tropical storms, and Saturday set a new record for the longest stretch without a hurricane since satellite tracking began. Experts warn: don’t relax—just one storm can cause massive damage, as seen in 1992’s Hurricane Andrew. El Niño’s brutal combo of wind shear, dry air, and downward winds is shredding any nascent storms before they form. Meanwhile, the Pacific is booming with named storms, including two hits on Hawaii. Though ocean temps remain hot, the atmosphere above is even hotter, blocking development. This quiet may not last—once El Niño fades, the Atlantic could turn into a storm factory.
