Atlantic’s Silent Storm Season | Charlotte News

This hurricane season is eerily quiet—record-low activity thanks to a dominant El Nino in the Pacific that’s basically shutting down storm formation. Zero hurricanes so far, just five weak tropical storms, and we’ve hit a new record for the latest a hurricane hasn’t formed. Experts warn don’t get too comfy: history shows slow starts can lead to big disasters, like 1992’s Hurricane Andrew. The science? Storms trying to form face a “triple whammy” of wind shear, dry air, and sinking winds—all El Nino’s doing. Nature’s unpredictable, so stay prepared no matter how calm it seems.
