The BBC Weather team examines whether a developing El Niño could sharply reduce Atlantic hurricane activity this year. El Niño conditions typically increase wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, which can tear storms apart before they strengthen, potentially leading to a quieter season. Forecasters caution that it does not guarantee no hurricanes will form.
Why now: El Niño's development is prompting debate over how much it will dampen the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season.
