Hurricane activity typically reaches its seasonal peak around Sep 10-11 every year. But so far in 2026, the Atlantic is experiencing the tamest hurricane season in >75 years. Say thank you to El Niño weather phenomenon and the wind shear it brings along.

No hurricane formed in the Atlantic so far this hurricane season, which is extremely rare. In fact, only two yrs in history didn't see a hurricane. One in 1907 and the other in 1914. 1907 saw the Panic of 1907 and 1914 saw WW1. Here's to no hurricane, but better times.

CHART OF THE DAY: The US hurricane season is entering its final weeks and it's now abundantly clear it was one of the weakest in recent history. The best way to look at it is via the @ColoradoStateU measure of Accumulated Cyclone Energy for 2026 s the average of 1991-2020.

I can’t get over how active this hurricane season has been in the Eastern Pacific. It’s already the basin’s most active season ever recorded, and we have another Category 4 hurricane on the way this weekend. There’s also a growing signal for another major hurricane (Category 3+) by late October. We could end up with 10 or more Category 4 or 5 hurricanes in a single season. This is truly a generational hurricane season, one we may not see surpassed for decades, all while the Atlantic is on track for its second-quietest season on record. A consequence of this year's record strong El Niño.
