Miami, FL – The Atlantic hurricane basin is expected to remain unusually quiet through at least the next week, offering a temporary break during the 2026 hurricane season even as two hurricanes continue spinning over the Pacific Ocean.
According to the National Hurricane Center, tropical cyclone formation is not expected anywhere in the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of America during the next seven days. Forecasters say no areas are being monitored for tropical development, leaving the basin free of active systems for the time being.
Meanwhile, activity continues in the eastern and central Pacific.
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Fausto, located in the central Pacific several hundred miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands, and Hurricane Genevieve, which is several hundred miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.
At this time, neither hurricane poses a direct threat to the U.S. Atlantic coastline.
While the lack of expected Atlantic development is welcome news for coastal residents and travelers, hurricane season is far from over. Climatologically, tropical activity typically increases through August before reaching its peak in early to mid-September.
Meteorologists encourage residents along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to use quieter periods to review hurricane preparedness plans, restock emergency supplies, and stay informed as conditions can change quickly during the peak of the season.
The National Hurricane Center will continue issuing routine tropical weather outlooks and advisories as the season progresses.
