Hurricane Season Silent: 2026 Sees No Storms by Peak
10 Sep
Summary
- 2026 Atlantic hurricane season reaches peak with no hurricanes formed.
- South Florida anticipates scattered showers, thunderstorms, and king tides.
- This marks the first hurricane-free peak in the satellite era.
South Florida can expect scattered showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, with the potential for stronger storms and localized flooding later in the day. Additionally, king tide saltwater flooding is a possibility along low-lying coastal areas during high tide, which occurred in Miami and Fort Lauderdale around 8:30 a.m. and in Key West at 9 a.m. These king tides are expected to continue through December.
The chance of rain remains high throughout the weekend, with daily chances of scattered showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures will hover in the low 90s, with feels-like temperatures reaching the upper 90s and low 100s. A decrease in rain chances is anticipated early next week as Saharan dust moves into the region around Tuesday.
Remarkably, the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has reached its peak without any tropical development predicted in the next seven days. This marks the first occurrence in the satellite era of a hurricane-free peak season. The last time a hurricane formed this late was in 1941. Historically, only the 1907 and 1914 seasons recorded no hurricanes, though potential storms may have gone undetected in open waters before satellite technology.
