Hurricane season is broken. Two oceans are historically out of whack
The 2026 hurricane season has been remarkable, from the potentially record-breaking calm in the Atlantic Ocean to the hyperactive eastern and central Pacific Ocean.
Only seven tropical storms have formed in the Atlantic, while 18 tropical storms and hurricanes have formed in the Pacific. In a normal year, the Atlantic and the eastern Pacific hurricane basins see similar activity, with 14 to 15 named storms, including seven to eight hurricanes by the time the season ends on Nov. 30. This year, the Atlantic hasn't yet produced a single hurricane, while the eastern Pacific has already produced eight.
What's interesting about this season is that a few of the storms that have occurred in the two basins originated in Africa and were influenced by the same powerful climate phenomenon, El Niño. But the results have been very different, with fierce hurricanes in the Pacific and unremarkable tropical storms in the Atlantic.
Hurricane season maps tracker: latest forecasts and more
Hurricane season remains very active in the Pacific, with two hurricanes, Polo and Nolo, and Tropical Storm Rachel. There is also another area in the Pacific that we are monitoring for development in the days ahead.
Activity is much lower in the Atlantic, where Fay is hanging on while fighting hostile conditions from an intensifying El Niño. There is also another area of interest in the Atlantic.
We have the maps you need to track all these systems below, starting with the most active basin, the Central and Eastern Pacific.
Nolo is rapidly intensifying and is now a Category 4 hurricane, potentially reaching Category 5 strength Monday. It is passing south of Hawaii but continues to bring gusty winds to parts of the island chain.
