Atlantic hurricane season starts latest in 60 years, record low activity

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has produced only five named storms by September 15, none reaching hurricane strength, marking the latest start in six decades. El Niño, wind shear, and Saharan dust are suppressing tropical development. The anomaly signals a quiet season but does not preclude late-season activity.
