Super El Niño accelerating: Expected to suppress Atlantic hurricanes, produce wet pattern across southern US
FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross breaks down how a brewing Super El Niño will impact this hurricane season in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins. Plus, Bryan also previews new AI tools FOX Weather will use to help track cyclones this year.
Recent data from the Pacific Ocean shows that the transition to what is expected to be a "Super El Niño" climate pattern is accelerating, which could suppress the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season and also spell a wet winter for the entire Southern Tier of the U.S.

Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season Starts Friday. A Potential Super El Niño And A 'Wild Card' Could Boost It.
The Eastern Pacific hurricane season begins Friday and an increasingly likely super El Niño could turbocharge the 2026 season with at least some impacts possible in Mexico, Hawaii and the Southwest United States.
The Eastern Pacific side — generally from Mexico's Pacific coast into the Central Pacific Ocean — starts on May 15.
That's because conditions in the Eastern Pacific are typically favorable for development earlier than the Atlantic side, as you can see in the graphs from the National Hurricane Center below.
The Eastern Pacific basin doesn't have to contend with surges of dry, dust-laden air from the Sahara Desert that helps keep a lid on early development on the Atlantic side.

Amid average hurricane forecast, Volusia official says stay prepared
Forecasters so far are predicting an average to below average Atlantic hurricane season this year, but Volusia County residents shouldn't get complacent, Volusia County Emergency Management Director Clint Mecham said.
"It could be the slowest season on record, and it only takes one to smack us right in the teeth and we've got problems," said Mecham, who spoke May 11 to the Volusia County Elected Officials Roundtable in Daytona Beach.
The Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 through Nov. 30. NOAA plans to release its hurricane season outlook on May 21. But other entities have already weighed in, including Colorado State University and AccuWeather.
