What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

El Niño is increasing wind shear in the main development region of the Atlantic Ocean. Forecasters noted that the regional pattern is shifting, and while there are currently multiple disturbances in the Atlantic, the chances of cyclone formation vary. Colorado State University has issued seasonal forecasts predicting nine named storms and four hurricanes for the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The forecasts from Colorado State University and NOAA are used by forecasting bodies to issue regional weather outlooks. Forecasters cited the powerful El Niño and high vertical wind shear as factors influencing the seasonal expectations for storm activity. These outlooks inform preparations for potential weather events in vulnerable regions.

Forecasting bodies, including AccuWeather, utilize data from NOAA and academic partners like Colorado State University to issue regional weather outlooks for Florida.
