Atlantic’s Silent Storm Season | Jacksonville News

Hurricane season is eerily quiet this year—only five named storms and zero hurricanes so far, with ACE levels at a record low. A powerful El Niño is to blame, whipping up wind shear that’s shredding storms before they form, especially over the Caribbean and western Atlantic. If no hurricane forms by Friday, it’ll be the first time since 1914 and 1907 that a season goes without one. But don’t relax yet—mid-September through early October is prime storm territory, and history shows late-season surprises are possible. The next storm will be named Fay, but for now, the Atlantic is taking a breather. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
