Hurricane Genevieve became the first Category 5 hurricane in waters near North and Central America since 2024, and Super Typhoon Dolphin is threatening to match it, twin Pacific powerhouses fueled by El Niño's warm waters. Genevieve's maximum sustained winds hit 160 mph overnight Sunday into Monday, July 27, making it the strongest hurricane in the eastern Pacific this year. The storm formed as a tropical depression well off the coast of Mexico on the morning of July 24, strengthened into Tropical Storm Genevieve just hours later, and reached hurricane status by Saturday. Within another 24 hours it had exploded to Category 4 with 155-mph winds before crossing the Category 5 threshold overnight. AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex…Open
The El Niño weather pattern could limit how many Atlantic storms form this year. But unusually warm waters temperatures mean the risk of destructive storms is still high.
The first month of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has come to an end, and so far, there's only been the development of one tropical storm

With El Niño expected to develop during the hurricane season, driving warmer sea surface temperatures and weaker trade winds, NOAA said this week it predicts a 55% chance of the hurricane season having fewer storms than normal.
El Niño may keep the Atlantic quieter, but it could bring more storms to the Pacific.
NOAA forecasters have released their outlook for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season.
An El Niño Watch has been issued by NOAA, signaling that conditions will likely evolve into El Niño within the coming six months
