Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons are often opposites
The eastern and central Pacific typically has more named storms than the North Atlantic each year. The regions generally have opposite responses to El Niño, as 1982 and 1992 show.
The Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons are often opposites of one another. During El Nino, the Eastern Pacific is busier while the Atlantic tends to be less active. During La Nino, that reverses, with a busy Atlantic hurricane season like 2020 and 2021.
