00:00The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is about to get even more dangerous than forecasters
00:05initially warned.
00:07And an early arriving El Nino is the reason.
00:10El Nino is arriving faster than expected, with chances of a historically strong event
00:15rising.
00:17Under normal conditions, El Nino suppresses Atlantic hurricane activity, but scientists
00:22warn that during the transition period.
00:24Exactly where the climate is now, atmospheric conditions are highly volatile, producing
00:30intense storms outside the typical pattern.
00:33This means models predicting a near-catastrophic season may actually underestimate intensity
00:39during the transition window.
00:41Warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures have not yet been suppressed and remain in place
00:45as fuel.
00:46Florida, Texas, Louisiana, the Carolinas, and the full Atlantic seaboard through New York
00:52remain at elevated risk.
00:54Insurance premiums along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts are already rising ahead of the June
00:591 season start.
01:00Scientists are clear.
01:02The uncertainty created by this transition makes preparation more important, not less.
01:08Prepare for landfall now.
