- High wind shear, indicated in purple on maps, hinders the development and sustenance of tropical cyclones by disrupting their structure.
- Dry, dusty air from the Sahara Desert, shown in brown shading, suppresses thunderstorm formation and is unfavorable for tropical storm development in the Atlantic.
- Sea surface temperatures and storm tracks are monitored to assess the current hurricane season's activity in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins.
- Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is used as a key metric to measure the intensity and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, helping meteorologists evaluate overall season activity.
