Strong El Niño explains Pacific storms and quiet Atlantic hurricane season
Scientists attribute the unusual distribution of tropical cyclones this year to an exceptionally strong El Niño event affecting both ocean basins.
Pacific Ocean sees many storms
The Pacific region has experienced an unusually high number of storms throughout the current year. Researchers indicate that these frequent weather systems are directly linked to the ongoing climate pattern.
Atlantic remains free of hurricanes
In contrast, the Atlantic Ocean has not recorded a single full-blown hurricane during this season. This stark difference in activity between the two major ocean basins is the primary focus of current analysis.
El Niño drives weather patterns
Experts point to an exceptionally strong El Niño as the cause for these divergent outcomes across the globe. The climate phenomenon continues to influence storm formation and intensity in specific regions.
