As you can see, the water is quite warm, hurricanes like that.
It looks cool but doesn't reveal the El Nino, the Mid-Pacific one does and it is abnormally warm (a literal El Nino situation).
El Nino inhibits Atlantic hurricane development. The most recent forecast discussion still talks about a layer of Saharan dust in the atmosphere which creates fair weather in the West Indies and the Caribbean Sea. The dust inhibits thunderstorm convection, can't form with dust in the way. This has been the case for over a month now. I do not know what is going on in west Africa to cause this but imagine the amount of dust from the Sahara Desert.
It is good no hurricanes are able to form but that means no hurricane images to post. There exists a tropical wave at about 24.1 North in the mid-Atlantic, could develop as it moves west over the next 2 weeks. We shall see.
