El Niño Tames the Atlantic, Yet Peak Hurricane Season Remains a Threat
TL;DR
A Washington Post meteorologist explains that the Atlantic has been unusually quiet this hurricane season thanks to El Niño-driven upper-level winds and Saharan dust, making it one of the tamest seasons on record. But the season is long, and storms can still form, especially away from El Niño’s strongest winds, so vigilance remains essential as the peak approaches.
