Quiet Atlantic hurricane season snaps 112
Forecasters had expected 6 to 9 hurricanes this season, but the Atlantic Basin has still not produced one as quiet conditions persist.
- Through Monday, the Atlantic hurricane season had not produced a single hurricane, snapping a 112-year record. This marks only the second season since 1914 without a major hurricane.
- A season without hurricanes has been recorded only twice before, in 1914 and 1907. Records from that era were less comprehensive than modern observations via satellite technology.
- This calm contrasts sharply with two years ago, when Hurricane Helene slammed into Florida's Big Bend as a Category 4 monster. The storm caused catastrophic flooding across North Carolina and Tennessee.
- The General Assembly passed the 2026 Appropriations Act, or Senate Bill 257, this summer, providing $700 million for Hurricane Helene relief. The law also boosted the rainy day fund to more than $4.2 billion.
- Forecasters at State University in North Carolina and Colorado State University projected six to nine hurricanes for the season running through Nov 30. Despite these predictions, the tropics have remained quiet.
