Atlantic season nears record for lack of hurricanes; Houston rain chances ahead

Forecasters noted that the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has so far produced no hurricanes, a gap described as approaching a notable record for a quiet season [1]. The Atlantic hurricane database goes back to 1851, though storms that stayed at sea before satellite coverage were likely missed; aircraft reconnaissance of the Atlantic began in 1944 [1]. The same outlook pointed to a week with elevated rain chances and raised the unconfirmed possibility of the season's first cool front late in the following week [1].
