Atlantic sees first hurricane-free September in 32 years
Original: September ends hurricane-free in the Atlantic for the first time in 32 years amid impending Super El Niño
September 2023 ended with no hurricanes forming in the Atlantic basin, the first time that has happened in 32 years, according to FOX Weather. The quiet spell is being attributed to a strengthening El Niño, which increases wind shear over the tropical Atlantic and suppresses storm development. The season had been forecast to be above average, making the lull especially unexpected.
Why now: An unusually quiet peak hurricane month defied forecasts and is linked to a powerful developing El Niño.
