El Niño May Ease Atlantic Storm Counts but Raise Grid Risks Elsewhere
Key Takeaways
- NOAA declared El Niño on June 11, and forecasters say it is developing early and strengthening quickly.
- AccuWeather expects 11 to 16 named Atlantic storms, below recent La Niña-influenced seasons.
- Utilities still face elevated risks from flooding, debris flows, drought, wildfire and heat-related demand spikes.
- Experts warn that storms forming close to the coast during El Niño years can leave less preparation time despite lower storm counts.
