Record set for latest date without Atlantic hurricane in satellite era
1 Sep 12 · 11d ago · 5 posts · 1 source · development 1 of 1
A new record was set this week for the latest date in the satellite era (1960s onward) without an Atlantic hurricane forming. NOAA has indicated the El Niño will likely be 'historic,' exceeding the strength of previous events dating back to 1950 and expected to peak in November or December.
“El Niño chops off the heads of hurricanes by altering global atmospheric circulation, generating strong upper-level westerly winds across the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean.”

The Atlantic is quiet — record quiet — this hurricane season thanks to an enormous El Niño that crushes storms before they get going.

The way I explained the suppression of Atlantic hurricane activity to my students is that El Niño chops off the heads of hurricanes by altering global atmospheric circulation, generating strong upper-level westerly winds across the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean. https://www. bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/cwy zq4538j3o
