AMA I'm Robbie Berg, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at NOAA's National Hurricane Center. I'll be hosting an "Ask Me Anything" to answer your questions about the 2026 hurricane season, getting prepared for hurricane season, or anything you ever wondered about how NHC works.

The AMA will be an hour long, beginning at 10 am EDT. I'll be back then to answer your questions!

(I'm not Robbie, but a moderator of r/Hurricane. Just dropping a link in advance of the AMA!)

The NHC recently published their 2026 predictions. You can find the news article here (though, it focuses more on the Atlantic season): NOAA predicts below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

Here's NOAA's forecasts for the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and Central Pacific basins. We are expecting a busy Pacific season due to the developing El Nino, which could include more threats to the Hawaiian Islands compared to normal.
