Pacific Storms Rage While Atlantic Hurricane Season Stays Calm
Original: Why is the Pacific full of storm activity when the Atlantic has been calm?
Meteorologists are examining a striking contrast in tropical activity: the Pacific has been busy with storm formation while the Atlantic basin has remained unusually quiet. Commentators note that differing ocean temperatures, wind shear patterns and large-scale climate drivers like El Niño conditions can suppress Atlantic storms even as they fuel Pacific cyclones, prompting discussion about what this split season means for the rest of the hurricane season.
Why now: The unusual imbalance between active Pacific storms and a quiet Atlantic season is prompting questions about the causes and implications for hurricane forecasts.
