Potential Increase in Hurricane Activity Observed Near Bermuda and Gulf Region

Buzzline

Meteorologists from AccuWeather are closely observing two regions for potential tropical developments as we approach late September, one of which is located near the Gulf Coast of the U.S. The area in the central Atlantic, southeast of Bermuda, has a moderate likelihood of development, particularly between September 17 and 21. To date, five named storms have emerged in the Atlantic this season, contrasted with an average of nine by this time in mid-September, and no hurricanes have occurred in 2026. Factors such as El Niño, ongoing wind shear, and arid conditions have contributed to the reduction in storm activity. Experts will persist in their monitoring of both regions for possible tropical effects and further development.

00:00A slow Atlantic hurricane season is being watched closely as two areas show potential

00:05for tropical development. The first area is several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda.

00:10Forecasters say it has a medium chance of development. The main window for possible

00:15development is September 17th through 21. The system could bring heavy rain, squalls,

00:20and rough seas to Bermuda. A second area is being monitored near the northern Gulf Coast.

00:26Forecasters say a storm could develop there later this week. Wind shear may initially prevent the

00:30system from organizing, but conditions could change if it slows over the Gulf. The Atlantic has produced

00:36five named storms so far this year. That compares with an average of nine by mid-September. No

00:42hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic during 2026. El Nino, dry air, and strong wind shear have

00:48suppressed activity. If no hurricane forms through September 21st, a new record could be set.

00:54Forecasters will continue monitoring both areas for tropical development.
