Hurricane season remains active in the Pacific, with hurricanes Nolo and Rachel while the Atlantic is mostly quiet, other than one area to watch that.

We have the maps you need to track all these systems below, starting with the most active basin, the Eastern Pacific.

Hurricane Nolo is moving away from Hawaii, and could strengthen into a Category 3-4 hurricane once again later this week. Should it cross the International Date Line, 180 degrees west, as a hurricane, it would be renamed to Typhoon Nolo.

The forecast track and latest information on Hurricane Rachel is also shown in the map below. Rachel is not expected to threaten land directly at this time.

Pacific tracks so far this season

Tracking the Atlantic

The only game in town at the moment is the remnants of Fay nearing Bermuda, but it is not expected to redevelop. Models are also eyeing the potential for tropical development in the Gulf 5-10 days from now.

Wind shear

These are areas of strong wind shear, the difference in wind speed and direction with height, which are shown in purple. High wind shear is hostile to mature tropical cyclones and those trying to develop.

Dry, dusty air

Another nemesis of tropical systems is dry air.

In hurricane season, plumes of dust-laden air stream across the basin from Africa's Sahara Desert, as you can see in the map below. This sinking, dry air squelches thunderstorm development, the building blocks of tropical storms and hurricanes.

So areas in the brown shading below are generally unfavorable for development.

Atlantic tracks so far this season

These are the tracks of systems that were at least tropical or subtropical storms, so far in the Atlantic Basin.

Season activity compared to average

Accumulated Cyclone Energy, or ACE, is a metric that measures the total energy produced by tropical storms and hurricanes over a given period, accounting for both how strong they were and how long they lasted.

It's another measure meteorologists use to gauge how active a hurricane season has been.

As you can see below, it has been a historically quiet Atlantic season, while the Pacific — especially the Eastern Pacific — has been much more active than usual.
