This year’s Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet, with no hurricanes forming so far, which is unprecedented in modern records. Typically, hurricanes form between mid-August and mid-October, but a strengthening El Niño has disrupted conditions, making it the quietest season by many measures. Now, a low-pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico is expected to develop into a tropical storm, potentially becoming a hurricane named Isaias. Although it faces challenges like dry air and wind shear, it could strengthen over the warm Gulf waters. This development is significant because it could be the first hurricane of the season, breaking the unusual calm.
QUESTION: How might the unusual quietness of this hurricane season impact communities that typically prepare for such storms?
