In September 2026, a rare sequence of three cyclones, Hurricanes Lowell and Karina, along with Tropical Storm Marie, formed in the Pacific Ocean, driven by a historically strong El Niño event. These storms were fueled by unusually warm ocean temperatures, which are linked to the El Niño phenomenon. The National Hurricane Center reported that both Category 4 hurricanes were expected to pass south and northeast of Hawaii, though there was uncertainty regarding their exact paths and potential impacts on the islands. This follows recent damage from Hurricane Lala, which affected Hawaii earlier in the month. Climate scientists noted that such a 'train' of cyclones is uncommon, with a similar occurrence recorded during the 2015 El Niño year. The current El Niño has a high probability of becoming the strongest on record and is contributing to extreme weather globally, including disruptions in Peru’s fishing industry and delayed rains in Sudan.
