The lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic this September has reduced the immediate risk of storm-related damage for coastal regions. However, the season is not over, and late-season storms, which often form closer to the U.S. in areas like the Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast coast, could still pose a threat. Additionally, even tropical storms, as seen with Arthur and Edouard earlier this year, can cause significant impacts, including flash flooding and water rescues. The ongoing El Niño conditions are expected to continue suppressing hurricane activity in the Atlantic, but vigilance remains necessary.
