Quiet Atlantic Season Ahead | Jacksonville News

This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is shaping up to be one of the quietest in a decade, with forecasters predicting just nine named storms—four becoming hurricanes, and only one reaching major status. The culprit? A strengthening El Niño, which is drying out the atmosphere and boosting upper-level winds, making storm formation nearly impossible. Even though the numbers are low, experts warn that a quiet season doesn’t mean safe—devastating storms can still strike. With the season ending November 30, and so far showing minimal accumulated cyclone energy, it’s more important than ever to stay prepared. Don’t wait for a storm to hit—plan ahead, no matter how calm the forecast looks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
