With a record strong El Niño underway, the East Pacific has seen an impressive record-shattering stretch of hurricane activity in the last few weeks. Going through some impressive statistics of just how historic it's been in this thread:

The Big Island of Hawaii certainly dodged a close call with Hurricane Nolo. While the prolonged easterly fetch did lead to heavy rain on the eastern side of the island, a farther north storm would've led to far more significant impacts from a near-stationary hurricane.

Through extraordinary efforts, WindBorne Systems successfully navigated a controllable balloon above powerful Typhoon Dolphin, descended into its eye, then collected multiple vertical profiles as we circled inside its eye. A first of its kind type of hurricane data collection.

The Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) associated with Hurricane Helene can be visualized with radar & mid-troposphere heights (blue lines). Helene's interaction with a cutoff low brought a frontal boundary to a stall over western NC with a deep moisture plume well ahead of Helene:

While the East Pacific is experiencing one of its most active hurricane seasons on record, the Atlantic is the polar opposite, so far having its quietest season in the satellite era (1960s-present). The "Main Development Region (MDR)" has been, well, a Mostly Dead Region.

Isaias is now the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season & is expected to intensify further today as it approaches the US gulf coast. NOAA & the US Air Force have been flying plenty of recon flights to help with analysis and forecasting, data which is also fed into models.

I've made numerous animations of extreme mesoscale flash flooding events in recent years -- August 2021 in Tennessee, Hurricane Ida in NJ, just to name a few. None have been as extreme in intensity *and* duration as what occurred in Fort Lauderdale, FL yesterday.

Discrete tornado-producing supercells, derecho with a textbook bookend vortex & rear inflow jet development, MCS-supercell mergers... this is one of the most meteorologically impressive radar loops I've put together.

This is certainly a day to save radar loops and weather observations from the Deep South - we're witnessing an incredibly rare historic event right now. Snowstorms like this don't come often at all - in fact, only a few since the late 1800s.

An intense MCS developed in Colorado yesterday, propagating into Oklahoma where an intense segment produced a swath of 70+ mph wind through the Tulsa metro area. Here's a loop of the MCS evolution, along with SPC wind reports:

This may be a long loop, but so has been Typhoon Dolphin's existence. It's already generated >57 ACE units, placing it among the top 10 ACE-producing storms in West Pacific records, while undergoing multiple eyewall replacement cycles and significant structural changes:

This year's climatological peak in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity has been characterized by unusually quiet conditions. Check out how ACE starts well above average in August, but ends up flatlining & falling below average as numerous waves fail to develop:
