2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook
The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2026 season is expected to be below normal, largely due to the influence of El Niño, which typically suppresses hurricane activity in the Atlantic.
NOAA's latest outlook indicates a 75% chance of a below-normal season, a 20% chance of a near-normal season, and a 5% chance of an above-normal season, with 7 to 13 named storms, 2 to 6 hurricanes, and up to 2 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) forecast for the season. Despite the quieter outlook, it only takes one storm to significantly impact our community. Residents, businesses, and visitors are encouraged to prepare in advance by developing a hurricane plan, assembling an emergency supply kit, and staying informed throughout the season.
What can YOU do to prepare for the storm?
Remove All Yard Decor
Secure all yard furniture and decor. This is necessary to prevent high winds from affecting your home or your neighbor's home. Residents should remove any items that could become a projectile and only place them back after the storm has passed.
Tree Trimming
Please do NOT perform landscaping or tree trimming that will create additional debris. Any landscaping debris must be removed prior to the storm.
Important Documents
Gather all important documents, such as birth certificates, banking documents, passports, marriage licenses, and insurance policies in a secure and waterproof container.
Register Vulnerable Populations
We encourage you to enroll vulnerable family members for the Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP) provided by Miami-Dade County. Do not wait until an evacuation order is issued for a future storm. Register today at www.miamidade.gov/fire/eeap.asp or call 311.
