Atlantic Quiet Pacific Wild | Jacksonville News

The Atlantic hurricane season is eerily quiet, with activity down 80% below normal—no hurricanes yet, and even Tropical Storm Bertha fizzled out in just three days. Blame El Niño, which is dumping dry air and whipping up wind shear to stifle storm formation. Meanwhile, the Pacific is buzzing with nine tropical storms, three hurricanes, and even a major hurricane—Lala—nearly brushing Hawaii for the first time since 1992. With no major shifts on the forecast horizon, the Atlantic’s calm may last, while the Pacific keeps storming ahead.
