MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Hanna formed Monday in the Atlantic Ocean and is not threatening land, according to forecasters. The storm was located about 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) east-northeast of Bermuda and was moving east, as reported by the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. Maximum sustained winds were around 45 mph (72 kph). There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect, and little change in strength is forecast in the coming days. The storm forms during an unusually quiet Atlantic hurricane season this year due to a strong El Niño, which disrupts storm formation over that ocean. In contrast, storm activity in the Pacific has been above average, with Hurricane Polo approaching Mexico and Hurricane Nolo moving away from Hawaii.
