AccuWeather is predicting between 11 to 16 named storms, including four to seven hurricanes and two to four major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or higher, during the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Forecasters also expect three to five storms to directly impact the U.S. during the season.

The historical average is 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.

A developing El Niño will be one of the biggest forces shaping the hurricane season and is one reason storm activity could be near or slightly below historical averages. Still, hurricane preparedness is critical, as multiple storms could make landfall in the U.S. this season.
