AccuWeather's latest forecast on July 9, 2026, indicated reduced concern for the ongoing Atlantic hurricane season, particularly for South Carolina, attributing the change to a strengthening El Niño.

Earlier, on June 19, AccuWeather climate experts warned that an exceptionally strong El Niño, projected to peak later in 2026 and persist into 2027, could create conditions for a multi-year drought, potentially threatening crop yields and the water supply, raising concerns of a "Mini-Dust Bowl" scenario.
