Three active storms right now
NHC and CPHC are issuing advisories on three storms: one hurricane, one tropical storm and one other system. Nothing is active in the Atlantic. Strongest first:
As of NHC advisory 17 (Oct 1 09:00 UTC), Rachel was a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h) and a central pressure of 972 mb. Its center was about 240 miles (390 km) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, moving west-northwest at 6 mph (9 km/h). Hurricane-force winds reach up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds up to 150 miles (240 km).
No coastal watches or warnings are in effect.
The next NHC advisory, a full advisory, is due at Oct 1 15:00 UTC (Oct 1 8:00 AM PDT).
As of CPHC advisory 43 (Oct 1 09:00 UTC), Nolo was a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a central pressure of 999 mb. Its center was about 460 miles (740 km) west of Makakilo, Hawaii, moving west-northwest at 3 mph (6 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds reach up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center.

Are any hurricanes forming right now?
Not at the moment. NHC’s Tropical Weather Outlook marks no disturbance in the Atlantic or the eastern and central Pacific right now.
NHC grades each chance as low (under 40%), medium (40–60%) or high (over 60%). A high chance means the disturbance will probably become at least a tropical depression, not that it will become a hurricane. NHC calls a disturbance it wants extra data on an invest. If one threatens land with tropical-storm or hurricane conditions within 72 hours before it forms, NHC can start advisories on it as a potential tropical cyclone, and it joins the list above.
Atlantic: No storm of tropical-storm strength is active today. At least one was active on October 1 in 16 of the 30 seasons from 1991 to 2020, so a quiet day like today is less usual. The 2026 season is behind the usual pace: six named storms and no hurricanes so far, against averages of 10.9 and 5.3 by October 1.
Eastern and central Pacific: Two storms of tropical-storm strength or more are active today. At least one was active on October 1 in 11 of the 30 seasons from 1991 to 2020, so a storm on this date is less common than not. The 2026 season is ahead of the usual pace: 20 named storms and 10 hurricanes so far, against averages of 14.2 and 7.8 by October 1.

How we count: a storm is active on a date if our archive has it at 39 mph or more on any 6-hourly fix that day; it counts toward the averages once it first reaches 39 or 74 mph. The eastern and central Pacific share a row because storms cross 140°W between them.

Not at the moment. NHC’s Tropical Weather Outlook marks no disturbance in the Atlantic or the eastern and central Pacific. During the season the outlook is issued every six hours, so a new area can appear at any time, and this page picks it up within about 30 minutes of its release.
▶How many hurricanes are there right now?
One hurricane is active right now, plus one tropical storm and one other system, according to the latest NHC and CPHC advisories for the Atlantic and the eastern and central Pacific. Typhoons and cyclones in other oceans are not counted here, because HurriTracker does not track them live yet. The count changes whenever a storm strengthens, weakens or ends.
▶Where is the storm right now?
Each storm above links to its own tracker, which shows the center position from the latest advisory, its distance and direction from the nearest town, and its forecast cone. Positions change with every NHC or CPHC advisory, every three or six hours. To measure the distance from your own city, use the storm distance tool.
▶How often is this list updated?
The list uses the same data as the storm pages, which we refresh from NHC and CPHC every five minutes. A storm joins it with its first advisory, including advisories on a potential tropical cyclone, and leaves it once it has dropped out of the NHC feed on two checks in a row, normally right after its final advisory.
