Hawaii Braces for Third Hurricane Threat in 2026

Hawaii Braces for Third Hurricane Threat in 2026

The Atlantic hurricane season of 2026 is on track to be the quietest on record, with minimal tropical activity due to strong wind shear and tepid water temperatures influenced by El Niño conditions. Meanwhile, the Pacific Ocean has been unusually active, with Hurricane Polo intensifying rapidly to Category 5 south of Acapulco and potential impacts on Baja California and northern Mexico. Hawaii faces an unprecedented third hurricane threat this year, as a newly-formed tropical depression is forecasted to strengthen into a major hurricane and approach the Big Island from the south over the weekend. Although the storm is expected to turn west before making landfall, significant rain, wind, and surf impacts are anticipated. This level of hurricane activity in Hawaii is typically seen over an entire decade, highlighting the unusual nature of the 2026 season. (Source: WeatherTiger, 23 Sep 2026)

Hurricane Nolo Threatens Hawaii With Catastrophic Floods

Hurricane Nolo Threatens Hawaii With Catastrophic Floods

Hawaii is bracing for significant impacts as a tropical depression south of the islands is expected to intensify into Hurricane Nolo by September 24, 2026. Heavy rainfall is forecast to begin on September 23, potentially leading to catastrophic flooding and mudslides, especially in areas recovering from Hurricane Lala. As of 5 a.m. HST on September 23, the storm was located 320 miles south-southeast of South Point, Hawaii, with sustained winds of 35 mph. The system is predicted to turn northward, bringing life-threatening surf and rip currents to the region. Rainfall totals could exceed 20 inches in higher elevations, with widespread impacts across the Big Island and eastern Maui. A flood watch is in effect for several islands, including Maui and Molokai, through September 26.

Hurricane Polo and Odalys Bring Swells to Baja California

Hurricane Polo and Odalys Bring Swells to Baja California

The Pacific hurricane season remains highly active, with Hurricane Polo and Hurricane Odalys currently churning in the region. Hurricane Polo, which briefly reached Category 5 strength, is now a Category 4 storm tracking parallel to Mexico's coastline. It is expected to pass dangerously close to Baja California without making landfall. Meanwhile, Hurricane Odalys, a Category 1 storm, is moving westward over the Pacific and is not expected to impact land. Tropical Storm Nolo is also developing south of Hawaii and is forecast to strengthen into a Category 3 hurricane later this week.
