Atlantic’s Quiet Storm Season | Augusta Georgia News

This hurricane season is breaking records for being eerily quiet—only five named storms so far, all staying weak. With no hurricane forming yet and the average date for the first one usually around August 11th, 2026 could set a new record for the latest start ever. Why? Blame El Niño—it’s pumping up vertical wind shear like someone nudging LEGO towers, tilting storms and preventing them from organizing into hurricanes, even though ocean temps are warm enough. Keep watching: if no hurricane forms by September 12th, history will be made. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
