What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet, marking the first time in 112 years that no hurricane has formed to date, despite six tropical storms occurring. Conversely, the Eastern and Central Pacific have seen an active year, recording 18 named tropical cyclones, six of which were hurricanes. Strong upper-level winds linked to El Niño are cited as the primary cause for the reduced activity in the Atlantic Basin.
