Earth's crust-ocean continuum constantly seeks thermodynamic equilibrium. Hurricanes are rapid surface-heat rebalancing tools. El Niño reorganizes global thermal imbalances, shifting primary convective venting to the Pacific, minimizing the thermodynamic necessity for Atlantic hurricane activity.

Could El Niño mean there are no Atlantic hurricanes this year?
For the first time in three decades there has not been a single Atlantic hurricane in September, normally the most active month.
