Tropical Storm Hanna forms in the Atlantic amid looming Super El Niño

Original: Tropical Storm Hanna forms in the Atlantic, latest in limited spurt of activity amid impending Super El Niño

Tropical Storm Hanna has formed in the Atlantic, becoming the latest storm in a brief burst of activity during an otherwise quiet season. The development comes as forecasters watch the approach of a Super El Niño, a warming of Pacific waters that typically suppresses Atlantic hurricane formation. Attention is on how the storm may evolve and what the stronger El Niño pattern means for the rest of the hurricane season.

Why now: A newly named tropical storm forming while a rare Super El Niño is developing draws attention to unusual seasonal weather patterns.
