El Niño Credited With Quieting Atlantic Hurricane Season
Original: How El Niño Made the Atlantic Hurricane Season Disappear
The Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet, and meteorologists point to El Niño as the main cause. The climate pattern increases wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, tearing storms apart before they can develop. The lull is striking because warm ocean temperatures had earlier forecasters expecting a busy season.
Why now: Forecasters had predicted an active season, so the El Niño-driven calm is drawing attention.
