NOAA and top hurricane analysts are cautioning that the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is set to be the busiest in over ten years. The combination of notably warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and a diminishing La Nina phenomenon is forming perfect circumstances for significant hurricane formation. Experts anticipate as many as 25 named storms, with 12 or more likely to become hurricanes. The Gulf Coast, Florida, and the Eastern Seaboard have been identified as areas of high risk.
