Persistent El Niño conditions and associated high wind shear have suppressed Atlantic tropical cyclone development through the climatological peak on September 10, yielding only five short-lived tropical storms and zero hurricanes so far in 2026, with accumulated cyclone energy 92% below the 1991-2020 average. National Hurricane Center and NOAA outlooks project a below-normal season overall, with limited intensification potential and no named systems expected in the next seven days. This environment makes multiple U.S. hurricane landfalls highly improbable before the November 30 close, though any late-season organization into a hurricane that reaches the Gulf or East Coast could still produce one landfall. Trader consensus reflects the strong observational and model consensus on continued suppression.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if at least 2 hurricane landfalls occur in the conterminous United States between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PM ET, as reported in official National Hurricane Center advisories (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/) and post-storm Tropical Cyclone Reports (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A landfall counts toward this total only if it occurs within this window; the time of the physical landfall governs, not the time any confirming advisory is issued.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or greater (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale), as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php, and a hurricane landfall is said to occur when the hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline, as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL. A storm must hold hurricane strength (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) at the moment its surface center intersects the coastline for that landfall to qualify.
If a single storm makes landfall more than once within this area during this period, each landfall identified as a distinct landfall by the NHC is counted separately toward the total. A storm that briefly moves over open water and returns to make an additional landfall counts as a separate landfall only if the NHC's own reporting identifies it as such; a single continuous track that does not leave and re-strike land counts once.
This market may resolve based on the initial NHC advisory reporting a qualifying landfall regardless of any later advisory, retraction, best-track revision, or reanalysis that revises that storm's intensity downward at the time of landfall. However, if a subsequent advisory or correction identifies a qualifying landfall that was not reflected in initial reporting, that landfall will be added to the count.Persistent El Niño conditions and associated high wind shear have suppressed Atlantic tropical cyclone development through the climatological peak on September 10, yielding only five short-lived tropical storms and zero hurricanes so far in 2026, with accumulated cyclone energy 92% below the 1991-2020 average.
