Pacific hurricanes rage while Atlantic stays quiet, El Niño blamed

Original: The Pacific is churning with hurricanes. The Atlantic is quiet. Blame El Niño

El Niño conditions are driving an unusual split in hurricane activity: the Pacific is producing storms at a vigorous pace while the Atlantic hurricane season remains unusually calm. Forecasters attribute the contrast to El Niño's strengthening of winds that tear Atlantic storms apart, while simultaneously fueling storm development in the warmer Pacific. The pattern is shaping expectations for the rest of the season.
