Another year has passed and here we go with the 2026 hurricane season for the Southeast Pacific and Atlantic ocean.
Last year category 5 Melissa hurricane formed at the end of the season and was marked as the most deadly (95 deaths related) and destructive (8.8k million USD) for the season. It was formed late October and went through several Caribbean countries.
Now this year we expect a bit more activity at the Pacific side, seems we have forecasted meteorological phenomenon "El Niño" to become stronger than the last years and could produce a "Super Niño" event, whats does that mean? a surely not favorable situation, more heat that produce intense rains which leads to flooding and other problems, like hurricanes.
Its already stated that 2026 was the 2nd highest sea surface temperature on record.
Couple of weeks ago the names of this season were released and we see more possible named systems on the Pacific with 24 against 20 for the Atlantic.

Couple of days ago "The Weatherman", a very active youtuber, already commented that "Arthur" could form in the next couple of days in the Caribbean, going north towards Cuba, Florida and the Bahamas, so lets see how it goes 😅
