The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) significantly impacts North Atlantic hurricanes, with more hurricane activity occurring when the MJO favors enhanced convection over Africa and the tropical Indian Ocean and suppressed hurricane activity occurring when the MJO favors enhanced convection over the tropical Pacific. Using data from 1905-2015, we find more hurricanes make landfall in the continental US when the MJO enhances convection over the tropical Indian Ocean. In addition, when the MJO enhances convection over the Western Hemisphere, tropical cyclones tend to form in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean, leading to more Gulf Coast landfalls. As the MJO moves to the Indian Ocean, more storms form in the tropical Atlantic, increasing the number of Florida and East Coast landfalls. The MJO’s modulation of tropical cyclone steering winds appears to be secondary to its effects on genesis locations.
