The El Niño Effect: A Hurricane Season Like No Other The Atlantic is eerily quiet, with no hurricanes forming yet in the basin.
This hurricane season has set a new record for the latest date without a hurricane forming, surpassing the previous records of 11 September, which were set in both 2002 and 2013.
This year's situation is marked by an unprecedented lack of activity, despite the average number of named tropical storms being around eight by this point.
