TROPICS: The Atlantic basin has set a new record for going the longest without a hurricane forming in the modern satellite era (1966) through the climatological peak of hurricane season (Sept 10th). Latest start to a season since 1941. This is mainly due in part to strong El Nino and Saharan dust coming off of Africa. These two factors limit a tropical cyclone development in the southern Atlantic.
