Hurricane Fausto Approaches Hawaii, Residents Urged to Prepare

Hurricane Fausto, currently a Category 2 storm, is tracking toward the Hawaiian Islands and is expected to weaken to a tropical storm before making direct contact early next week. According to National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Foster, Fausto’s center is forecast to pass just north of the islands Monday night or Tuesday, but a southern shift in its path could increase the risk of stronger winds and heavier rainfall. The storm is anticipated to bring high surf, heavy rain, and tropical storm-force winds ranging from 39 to 73 mph. Residents are advised to use the weekend to prepare for potential flooding, evacuations, and power outages. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center predicts an active hurricane season due to a strong El Niño cycle, with Fausto being the first major storm of 2026. Source time: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 10:05:00 GMT.
