Did Tropical Storm Fay form in the Atlantic in September 2026?

Yes. Early on September 20, 2026, the National Hurricane Center said Tropical Depression Six strengthened into Tropical Storm Fay, the sixth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. At 5 a.m. EDT, Fay was about 450 miles (730 kilometers) southwest of the Azores with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph), moving north-northeast at 5 mph.

No coastal watches or warnings were in effect, and forecasters said the storm did not appear to pose a threat to land.
