These temperatures aren\u2019t at the record levels set in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/18\/climate\/ocean-heat-record-year-climate-intl\">2023 and 2024<\/a>, but they\u2019re still warmer than they should be, driven higher in a world warming due to fossil fuel pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurricane Erin took advantage of that warmth, becoming one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record when it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/08\/17\/weather\/hurricane-erin-tracking-atlantic-climate\">hit Category 5 status<\/a>&nbsp;in mid-August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, warm water is only one piece of the puzzle, as September is showing us right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeffThe tropical Atlantic has been enveloped in dry, stable air so far this month, which is one of the main reasons it\u2019s unusually quiet. Dry air can squash a storm\u2019s ability to generate rainfall, and it\u2019s typically less abundant at this time of year than earlier in the season. An area of stormy weather the hurricane center tracked for development between Africa and the Caribbean last week succumbed to this hostile factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind shear&nbsp;<strong>\u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>changes in wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere<strong>&nbsp;\u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;also tends to be lowest at this point. Shear can rip apart fully developed hurricanes and tropical storms, as well as systems still in formative stages, though it wasn\u2019t a huge obstacle for last week\u2019s failed system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September is also when areas of showers and thunderstorms from western Africa make the trek west toward the Caribbean. These seeds for development, known as tropical waves, can spin-up storms when ingredients in the atmosphere and ocean cooperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-the-season-stacks-up-so-far-and-what-lies-ahead\">How the season stacks up so far and what lies ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This season seems to be running closer to empty at a time of year it should be firing on all cylinders: Six named storms have formed so far, which is two fewer than the average by September 9, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/climo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1991 to 2020 data<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of those storms have been short-lived, with Hurricane Erin\u2019s more than 10-day-long journey being the exception. Erin remains the only hurricane so far this season,&nbsp;<s><\/s>behind the typical<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>pace of three forming by early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, impacts matter more than any numbers and several storms this year have already had dangerous outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leftover moisture from what once was Tropical Storm Barry helped fuel the devastating&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/07\/13\/us\/camp-mystic-flooding-texas\">July 4 Texas floods<\/a>. Just two days later, Tropical Storm Chantal triggered destructive and deadly floods in a narrow strip of North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, Hurricane Erin brought heavy rain and strong winds to the northeast Caribbean before growing in size and churning up high surf and dangerous rip currents along the East Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.cnn.com\/api\/v1\/images\/stellar\/prod\/erinsatellitecat5noaacira.png?c=original&amp;q=w_860,c_fill\" alt=\"Hurricane Erin as a Category 5 northeast of the Caribbean islands on Aug. 16, 2025.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurricane Erin as a Category 5 northeast of the Caribbean islands on Aug. 16, 2025.&nbsp;CIRA\/NOAA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward, just over 50% of the entire hurricane season\u2019s activity occurs after the September 10 peak,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tropical.atmos.colostate.edu\/Realtime\/index.php?loc=northatlantic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to one measure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we\u2019ve seen a number of hurricanes pack a huge punch in the back end of recent seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/10\/01\/weather\/hurricane-helene-path-of-destruction-climate-dg\">Hurricane Helene\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;devastating impacts played out from Florida to Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee in late September.
