Last hurricane-free Atlantic start
The Atlantic basin last went without a hurricane through mid-September in 1914, the previous benchmark before the 2026 season.
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has set a historic mark, going hurricane-free through mid-September for the first time since 1914 as a strong El Niño suppresses storm formation. Accumulated cyclone energy is at a record-low 7% of normal while the eastern Pacific surges to 13 named storms — a signal with real implications for energy markets, insurance, and coastal infrastructure risk.
Tropical Storm Bertha, the Atlantic's second named storm of 2026, made two Gulf landfalls at an estimated 45 mph without producing sustained tropical-storm-force winds over land. Its top-down formation and sheared, dry-air-choked structure show how warm seas and a favorable MJO were outweighed by vertical wind shear and Saharan dust. The basin has since gone quiet, with Cristobal next on the list and no near-term areas of concern.
