What season is it, anyway. If summer's over, is it something else?

Well, depending on where you live, right now is the 
absolute peak of Hurricane season...

Today, September 10, marks the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, according to data from NOAA. September 10 is historically the most active single day for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30.The remaining risk is still very high. Roughly 60% of all seasonal storm activity happens after this peak date. Up to now, it's been unusual quiet. Despite reaching the statistical peak, the tropics have remained unusually calm due to factors like dry air and wind shear. 
And if we get to Saturday (12 September) without one - highly likely - it will be the latest we've gotten without an Atlantic hurricane during the "satellite era" (which started in the 1960s).
What if we have zero Atlantic hurricanes this year? It will be the first time since 1914.
The activity of the 2026 season is a striking contrast to several active hurricane seasons in recent years. Through September 10, 2024 had six tropical storms and four hurricanes, while 2023 had 12 tropical storms and three hurricanes. The extremely active 2020 season had already produced 17 tropical storms and six hurricanes by this date. In 2017, the Atlantic had 12 tropical storms and six hurricanes, including Hurricane Irma.
