El Nino causes more hurricanes in the Atlantic basin.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that El Nino causes more hurricanes in the Atlantic basin?

No. A peer-reviewed study covering 1900-2009 reports that Atlantic tropical cyclone activity is reduced in El Nino years, the opposite of the claim. A National Geographic piece only indirectly touches the Atlantic, discussing El Nino's wetter-winter effect rather than hurricane counts.
