Cristobal became the third named storm of 2026.
It is the third named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, and other systems are brewing in the Atlantic.
There are three areas of interest in the Atlantic Ocean, but thankfully no local impacts are expected.
Ancient seafloor sediments have revealed a surprising twist in how the Atlantic’s massive circulation system works. During a cold period about 3.4 million years ago, the flow of warm, salty water from the Indian Ocean into the Atlantic nearly shut down—but the AMOC did not weaken as expected.
For several years, climate scientists have shown that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could come to a halt if the world warms too much. New research from Utrecht University shows that this picture is incomplete: The pace of warming also determines whether the AMOC stays stable.

Signs of El Niño are already appearing in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Storm Bertha is more proof
Atlantic hurricane season is off to a quiet start and it’s probably time to start pointing fingers at El Niño.
Scientists have found that the AMOC may be far more vulnerable to rapid warming than to temperature alone. When warming happens slowly, the ocean can adapt, but at faster rates similar to today’s, the massive Atlantic circulation could reach a tipping ...
For decades, scientists have asserted that the leakage of warm, salty Indian Ocean water south of South Africa into the Atlantic is a major contributor to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC),
The peak of hurricane season is little more than a month away, and the front page of the National Hurricane Center website prominently displays a blank map of the Atlantic Ocean that says “Tropical cyclone activity is not expected during the next 7 days.

Four rehabilitated juvenile green sea turtles were released into the Atlantic Ocean following months of expert care.
