✦AI Summary
The Atlantic hurricane season is experiencing a quiet start due to the combined effects of a strong El Niño and Saharan dust. These factors are creating unfavorable conditions for storm development, leading experts to predict one of the least active seasons in recent years.
The basin has only seen three named storms since the start of hurricane season in June, a trio of weak and largely disheveled tropical storms. One or two additional tropical storms are possible through the middle of August as the season struggles against a bevy of unfavorable conditions.
