As we reach the climatological peak of the hurricane season, the Atlantic remains eerily calm. Meteorologists and weather experts are exploring why September, typically busy with storms, has turned into a lull this year. Factors such as Saharan dust and warm Gulf waters are influencing current conditions, leading to an unusually quiet atmosphere in the tropics. While the National Hurricane Center monitors a few tropical waves, they caution that this tranquility may soon change as the season progresses. Residents along the East Coast are advised to stay alert, as the later half of the month could see heightened activity.
