The Atlantic Ocean failed to produce a hurricane in the month of September 2026, marking the first time a hurricane did not form during the month since 1994, according to CNN. Record-strength wind shear across parts of the Atlantic’s main development region was cited as the main reason for the lack of hurricanes during the month. The Atlantic has yet to produce a hurricane in 2026, the first time the ocean has gone this late without a hurricane since modern satellite tracking began in 1966. There have been just two years without an Atlantic hurricane (1914 and 1907), but both occurred prior to more accurate tracking methods.
