Twelve Capital sees El Niño keeping Atlantic hurricane season unusually quiet in 2026
  • Twelve Capital flagged elevated risk of large insured losses from Hurricane Lowell as it nears Hawaii, following a prior Category 5 peak.
  • Forecast calls for a northward turn, passing west of Hawaii on Monday as Category 3 or strong Category 2.
  • Track uncertainty keeps potential landfall on Kauaʻi or Oʻahu, including Honolulu, in play.
  • A comparable hit to 1992’s Iniki could drive insured losses into double-digit billions, versus USD 1.6 billion then.
  • Atlantic outlook stayed subdued, with El Niño expected to keep conditions unfavorable; 2026 has yet to produce a hurricane-strength storm.
