A rare weather anomaly has unfolded in the Atlantic this month, as no hurricanes have formed for the first time in three decades—a stark departure from September’s usual peak activity. Meteorologists are studying whether shifting climate patterns or other factors may be influencing this unusual lull, which contrasts sharply with historical trends. The absence of storms so far raises questions about whether the season’s overall intensity will remain subdued or if late-season development could still emerge. Experts caution that even a quiet month does not guarantee a calm end to hurricane season.
For the first time in three decades there has not been a single Atlantic hurricane in September, normally the most active month.
