Tropics update
El Niño and Saharan dust are keeping the tropics mainly quiet with high levels of wind shear and dry, dusty air. It is very difficult for any tropical system to develop at this point. For that reason, the National Hurricane Center keeps things quiet for the next 7 days across the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf. However, we don’t get to the peak of hurricane season until September 10th, and it doesn’t end until the end of November. So stay alert even when things are quiet!
