Atlantic Storms on Pause | Boston News

Atlantic hurricane season’s been eerily quiet so far—thanks to a dominant El Niño suppressing storm formation. But now, two tropical disturbances are stirring up in the Caribbean and north of Africa, though their chances of becoming hurricanes are slim due to fierce wind shear and Saharan dust choking moisture. The National Hurricane Center has slashed its forecast, even hinting we might not see any major hurricanes this year—a rarity since 1994. While the Pacific is churning with record-breaking storms, the Atlantic remains stubbornly hostile: cooler waters, high wind shear, and dry air are stacking against any potential development. If storms do emerge, they’ll likely be weak. September looms as the real test—when the most dangerous part of hurricane season hits.
