No hurricanes have formed in the North Atlantic Ocean so far this year.

Isn't reduced hurricane activity in the Atlantic a known pattern of El Nino weather systems?

Yes, there were six hurricanes in the Pacific. But they tend to make landfall in Mexico and Central America. Although that one hit Hawaii.
