Tropical Depression Six Forms in Atlantic Ocean
PT · Published Sep 20, 2026
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has announced the formation of Tropical Depression Six in the eastern subtropical Atlantic Ocean.
The system, located approximately 525 miles southwest of the Azores, is moving slowly northward at about 2 mph.

Impact & Risks

Tropical Depression Six is not expected to pose significant risks to land or coastal areas, as no watches or warnings have been issued. The system's slow movement and limited wind intensity, capped at 35 mph, suggest minimal impact. Wind shear and dry air are expected to limit its development, preventing it from reaching hurricane strength. While slight strengthening may occur, the depression is forecast to weaken gradually, reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions.
