2026 hurricane season: it ends November 30 and there were no active cyclones as of October 31
As of October 31, 2026, the National Hurricane Center showed no cyclones in the Atlantic, the Caribbean or the Gulf. The season officially ends on November 30.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on November 30, 2026. As of October 31, the forecast from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) showed no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, the Caribbean or the Gulf.
How has the 2026 season gone?
According to Noticaribe, citing the NHC, as of October 30, 2026 there had been 10 named storms and one hurricane: Isaías, from October 6 to 10, with winds of about 195 km/h, category 3. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) was 19.5, about 83% below the historical average for that date. These figures come from the article and were not checked in the NHC archive.
Can the season be considered over?
Not officially. A municipal meteorologist in Playa del Carmen said the season could be considered over in practice, though he clarified that this is not an official statement and that he does not rule out a storm in November. He pointed to El Niño as a factor. The idea of an early end is his opinion, not an official notice, nor one from the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (National Meteorological Service).
Where can you check cyclone status?
The official sources are the National Hurricane Center (NHC/NOAA) and the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN), which offers forecasts, tropical cyclone advisories for the Pacific and the Atlantic, and a page for the 2026 season. Both change daily, so this article reflects only the October 31, 2026 cutoff.
