El Niño's Rise Could Fuel Pacific Hurricanes While Suppressing Atlantic Storms in 2026

A developing El Niño is expected to boost the Eastern Pacific hurricane season in 2026 due to warmer waters and reduced vertical wind shear, while the Atlantic may see fewer storms because of cooler waters and more wind shear, though activity won’t vanish. The East Pacific season begins May 15, with names Amanda, Boris, Cristina and Douglas, and forecasters will monitor outlooks; past events like 2023's Hilary and 2025's Kiko illustrate how El Niño and La Niña patterns influence storms.

"Preparing for La Niña: Impact on Hurricane Season and California Weather"

La Niña is expected to form this year, with a 62% chance of developing during the upcoming summer months, potentially worsening the Atlantic hurricane season by weakening wind shear and increasing storm activity. While its impact on U.S. summer weather is minimal, La Niña typically brings cold and snow to the Northwest and dry conditions to the southern tier during winter, with warmer temperatures in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. The recent strong El Niño is weakening and expected to transition to "ENSO-neutral" conditions, with the entire El Niño/La Niña cycle known to affect weather in the U.S. and around the world.
