A focused newsletter on the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, for people on the coast, until it ends on 30 November

Daily

Every day the season is active, until it ends on 30 November: any storm being watched, the official watches and warnings, how forecasts changed, and the season's running tally. Quiet when nothing is happening. For someone on or near the Atlantic or Gulf coast who wants the official forecast in plain words.

Not climate change debate: this newsletter follows storms, not the argument about causes, not storm chasers' personal footage with no forecast information, not Pacific or Indian Ocean storms outside the Atlantic basin, not insurance and property market speculation.

Where the news comes from: National Hurricane Center, National Hurricane Center: tropical weather outlook, National Hurricane Center: Atlantic basin, National Hurricane Center: tropical weather outlook, Colorado State University: tropical weather forecasts.

Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
