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.

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.
