As the 2026 Hurricane Season approaches, this webinar will go beyond headline predictions to unpack the science behind this year’s outlook, including key climatological drivers shaping storm activity across the northern Atlantic basin. Seasonal forecasts provide important context, but the numbers alone do not tell the full story.

Join us for a discussion on this season’s forecast evolution, what signals matter most, and how to interpret uncertainty in seasonal outlooks. We will highlight the latest updates from the National Hurricane Center, including new products and advancements in forecasting and communication designed to improve situational awareness and decision-making. In addition to the Atlantic basin, we will provide a brief outlook for the Eastern and Central Pacific basins.

To close the conversation, we will translate forecast insights into action, exploring what this season’s risks mean from a resilience and preparedness perspective within the broader threat landscape. We will highlight how global events and macro trends interact with and amplify hurricane impacts, shaping a more complex and interconnected risk environment.
