TL;DR

El Niño is suppressing Atlantic hurricane activity, producing a record-late start to the season with five named storms and no hurricanes by mid-September, while NOAA projects below-normal Atlantic activity for the year; by contrast, the Pacific season is above average with 14 named storms and four hurricanes, and a very strong El Niño could yield multiple major hurricanes.
