    How strong El Niños shift the hills and valleys of hurricane season

    A strong El Niño is developing this year, with NOAA's RONI index nearing the threshold for classification. Strong El Niños typically reduce Atlantic hurricane activity by increasing wind shear but can shift seasonal storm distribution, leading to an earlier end to the season. Activity may peak later in August and decline quickly in October.
