NOAA expects a quieter 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, urges early preparedness

NOAA’s 2026 outlook calls for a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season (June 1–Nov 30) with 8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, and 1–3 major hurricanes, aided by developing El Niño and warmer Atlantic conditions with weaker trade winds. Forecasters assign about a 55% chance of below-normal activity (35% near-normal, 10% above-normal) and highlight new tech—AI-based models, drones, enhanced forecast cones, and expanded products for Hawaii and inland areas—to improve forecasts, emphasizing that preparedness should begin now.

El Niño May Dampen Atlantic Hurricane Season in 2026, NOAA Forecasts

NOAA forecasts a below-average Atlantic hurricane season for 2026, with a 55% chance of below-normal activity and 8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, and 1–3 major hurricanes, largely due to a developing El Niño that increases upper-atmosphere wind shear even as sea temperatures remain warm. Forecasters caution that even in a quiet season, a single major hurricane can cause severe damage, and CSU's separate forecast also signals below-active activity. The season runs June 1 to November 30.

El Niño Could Quiet the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season, NOAA Forecasts

NOAA forecasts a below-average 2026 Atlantic hurricane season with 8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, and up to 3 major hurricanes, driven largely by the anticipated return of El Niño which tends to increase upper-atmosphere wind shear and suppress activity, though warmer-than-normal Atlantic waters could still fuel systems. The season runs June 1–November 30, with the first tropical storm typically forming in late June and the first hurricane around mid-August.

Hurricane Erin: First Atlantic Storm of 2025 with Path and Impact Forecasts

Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, has formed as a Category 1 storm and is expected to pass near the Leeward Islands, potentially strengthening to a major hurricane. While most models keep it offshore, large waves and rip currents are anticipated along the U.S. East Coast, especially from North Carolina to Virginia, posing risks of erosion and dangerous surf. Tropical storm watches are in effect for some Caribbean islands, and the storm's progression is being closely monitored.

Mid-August Brings Increased Hurricane Activity in the Atlantic

The Atlantic hurricane season, currently quiet with few hurricanes, is expected to become more active in mid-August due to favorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions, including warm sea surface temperatures and atmospheric oscillations, with potential for a significant hurricane to develop and possibly threaten North America in the coming weeks.

"Slow Start Raises Questions for Predicted Record-Breaking Hurricane Season"

Despite a historically late start to the Atlantic hurricane season with no named storms by June 5, forecasters maintain that the season could still be very active. The delay is attributed to a heat dome over Central America and Mexico, which has created hostile conditions for storm development. However, record-warm water temperatures and the budding La Niña are expected to make conditions more favorable for tropical activity later in the season. Forecasters urge caution, noting that past seasons with late starts have still been above average and devastating.

"2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Major Storms and Rising Anxiety"

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring five tropical waves as the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season begins, with no immediate tropical activity expected. AccuWeather forecasters warn of tropical downpours in the Caribbean, with a slight chance of storm formation. The season is predicted to be very active, with up to 25 named storms expected, driven by La Niña and record-warm water. Florida residents are advised to stay prepared and monitor updates.

"Rapidly Intensifying Hurricanes Pose Major Evacuation Challenges"

As the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season begins, forecasters warn of more storms that could rapidly intensify, a phenomenon that has historically been difficult to predict. However, advancements in technology and data collection have improved forecasting capabilities. Rapid intensification, where wind speeds increase dramatically in a short period, has been linked to catastrophic hurricanes in the past. The National Hurricane Center and other agencies are using new tools to better predict these events, though challenges remain, as evidenced by Hurricane Otis's unexpected intensification last year.
