Summary by The Piney Point Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Travis Herzog, ABC13 Houston (KTRK) · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Remnants from Bertha continues to move into Mexico, the tropics remain quiet for now.

Why this matters in The Piney Point

For Piney Point Village residents, the absence of tropical development in the Atlantic basin is a welcome relief, especially given the community's history of hurricane-related flooding. The large plume of Saharan dust covering the Atlantic basin is a key factor in suppressing tropical activity, and its presence will likely be closely monitored by local emergency management officials. As the summer months approach, Piney Point Village residents can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now, knowing that the risk of tropical storms and hurricanes appears to be lower. However, it's crucial for residents to remain vigilant and prepared, as the Atlantic hurricane season is long and unpredictable. The city's storm preparedness plans and flood mitigation measures will continue to be crucial in protecting the community from potential future storms.
