El Niño silences Atlantic as climatological peak of hurricane season arrives
The climatological peak of Atlantic hurricane season arrives today, September 10, yet the basin remains eerily quiet, largely due to El Niño’s influence. Wind shear remains high across the entire Main Development Region (MDR), while Saharan dust and low instability are severely limiting the numerous tropical waves moving off the coast of Africa.
