Hurricane Season: Active Pacific vs. Quiet Atlantic

Atlantic Hurricane Season Quietude

• 🤫 The Atlantic hurricane season has had one of the quietest starts in about 10 years.
• ⚠️ This unusual quiet is directly linked to activity in the Eastern Pacific.

Eastern Pacific Activity

• 🌊 The Eastern Pacific is experiencing a very active start to its season.
• 🌀 A hurricane with 110 mph winds is noted, potentially making landfall as a major Category 3 storm.

The Impact of Pacific Storms on the Atlantic

• 💨 Active storms in the Pacific create significant upper-level wind shear.
• 🌬️ This wind shear is pulled into the Gulf and Caribbean, limiting tropical development in the Atlantic.
• 📉 The video visually demonstrates this shear ripping off the top of a Pacific storm and affecting the Caribbean.
• 🚫 This phenomenon is currently putting a lid on potential development in the Atlantic for the next five to seven days.
