This market will resolve according to the number of storms categorized as a hurricane in the Atlantic between market creation and November 30, 2026 11:59 PM ET. If there is no storm categorized as a hurricane in the Atlantic during the specified timeframe this market will resolve to "0". A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or greater (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale), as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php. This market may resolve based on the initial NHC advisory reporting a qualifying hurricane regardless of any later advisory, retraction, best-track revision, or reanalysis that revises that storm's intensity downward. The official count will be determined by the NHC (nhc.noaa.gov) advisories.As of early September 2026, the Atlantic basin has produced five named tropical storms but zero hurricanes, driven primarily by a strong and intensifying El Niño that has generated elevated wind shear across the main development region, disrupting organization and intensification despite record-warm sea-surface temperatures in parts of the subtropics. National Hurricane Center outlooks show no tropical cyclone formation expected in the next seven days, pushing the season toward a satellite-era record for the latest first hurricane. Updated NOAA guidance continues to favor a below-normal season overall (2–6 hurricanes), while historical data indicate zero-hurricane years are rare. The close market split between zero and 1–3 hurricanes reflects uncertainty over whether late-season activity, aided by cooling El Niño influences or cold-front interactions with warm waters, can overcome persistent shear before the November 30 close.
