El Niño Quietly Cancelled the Atlantic Hurricane Season

Original: How El Niño Made the Atlantic Hurricane Season Disappear

The Atlantic hurricane season has been remarkably quiet, and meteorologists point to El Niño as the main reason. The climate pattern strengthens winds high over the tropics, shearing apart storms before they can develop. The rare lull has drawn attention from scientists and the public, who are debating how long the calm will last and what it says about seasonal forecasting.

Why now: An unusually inactive hurricane season attributed to El Niño is surprising readers and climate watchers.
