June to end with the least active hurricane season start since 2014

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been the least active since 2014, with minimal tropical activity despite recent flooding from Tropical Storm Arthur. A developing El Niño and a strong subtropical jet stream are suppressing storm formation, though a small development window off the southeastern U.S. in early July remains under low-probability monitoring.
