2026 Hurricane Season
2026 Hurricane Season Map
Tracks are yellow for tropical storms and red for hurricanes. The width of the track is scalled by the storm's maximum wind speed.
The accumulated tracks for tropical storms and hurricanes in both the Atlantic and East Pacific basins showing the 2026 hurricane season. The track data comes from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) project. Data for these tracks are typically updated on three times per week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The visualization is regenerated daily.
2026 is an El Niño year. El Niño typically surpresses huricane activity in the Atlantic and increases it in the Pacific.
2026 Accumulated Cyclone Energy Chart
Accumulated Cyclone Energy in both the Atlantic and East Pacific basins. 2026 is shown in red with the years 2001-2025 shown in grey for comparison. The units of the y axis are 104 kt2.
Accumulated Cyclone Energy in both the Atlantic and East Pacific basins comparing the 2026 hurricane season to the previous 25 years. The track data comes from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) project. Data for these tracks are typically updated on three times per week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The visualization is regenerated daily.
