Timeline of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season

The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the north Atlantic Ocean. Following the intense activity in the 2005 season, forecasts had initially predicted that the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season would be only slightly less active. However, activity was slowed by a rapidly forming El Niño event in 2006, the presence of the Saharan Air Layer over the tropical Atlantic, and the steady presence of a robust secondary high-pressure area to the Azores high centered on Bermuda.
