As we approach October, chances are dropping lower and lower for any Atlantic hurricanes this year.

00:00Let's go to the Atlantic where things are quieter.
00:03It's a very strong El Nino that we've been talking about for months at this point, right?
00:08So we're not surprised that there's not a lot of activity in the Atlantic,
00:11but there are a few things to talk about.
00:13So let's go over what is out there.
00:14Tropical Depression, Faye, and Hannah out there as well, looking at the Faye eye path first.
00:19I mean, both of these are not storms that we're looking at any kind of impacts to land.
00:24But we're checking off more names on the list, so might as well tell you what's going on.
00:28None of these getting to hurricane status, none of these expected to get to hurricane status,
00:33which really is the bigger piece of the story at this point.
00:36We have yet to have a hurricane in the Atlantic for the 2026 hurricane season.
00:41And we do have another area that we're tracking with a high risk of potential development here,
00:46but we're really not expecting that to strengthen into a hurricane either.
00:50In fact, when we go week by week and we're marking off more of the stats,
00:54if we compare to the last three Super El Nino years, that was 1982, 1997, and 2015,
01:00there have only been two Atlantic hurricanes after October 1st in any of those years.
