Fewer Hurricanes in 2026
Scientists looked at the 2026 hurricane season in the Atlantic. They think there will be fewer storms this year. The normal number is 14 storms. This year there may be 11 to 16. The season starts on June 1.
A weather change called El Niño is the reason. El Niño makes the Pacific Ocean warm. Then strong winds stop hurricanes from forming.
People should still get ready for storms. The Gulf Coast and the Carolinas have the highest risk. Buy food and water before the storms come.
