El Niño conditions continue to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity through elevated wind shear and drier air, resulting in just three named storms—all tropical storms with no hurricanes—through August 23, 2026, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of only 3.1, 86% below the 1991-2020 average. NOAA’s August update maintains a 75% probability of a below-normal season overall, forecasting 7-13 named storms, 2-6 hurricanes, and 0-2 major hurricanes for the full June-November period. Current National Hurricane Center monitoring focuses on eastern Atlantic tropical waves with marginal development odds, though steering patterns and shear favor recurvature away from the U.S. coast in the near term. Traders assessing landfall probabilities watch for shifts in model consensus during the climatological peak from mid-August through September, along with any rapid intensification signals or changes in sea-surface temperatures that could overcome the hostile environment.

A hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL) and the NHC reports maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher (Category 1 or greater) at the time of landfall. The state of landfall is determined by the surface center's location when it crosses the coastline. If a single hurricane makes separate landfalls in more than one listed state, each such state resolves to "Yes".
Hurricane season runs from June 1, 2026 - November 30, 2026.
Each market resolves based on the initial NHC (or CPHC) advisory reporting a qualifying landfall in the relevant state, regardless of any later retraction or reanalysis. Each market may only resolve to "No" after November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or, if an extension period applies, after December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met.
If an active tropical cyclone at hurricane strength is over water per official NHC or CPHC advisories as of 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2026, the relevant market(s) will operate under an extension period of 7 days, and the resolution date will move to December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; a qualifying landfall by that hurricane during the extension period will count toward resolution.
If a qualifying landfall occurs within a market's timeframe (including any extension period) but has not yet been confirmed by an NHC or CPHC advisory by the resolution date, that market will remain open until such an advisory is issued.
