Pacific hurricane season intensifies with El Nino driving record storm counts
Warmer Pacific waters and El Nino conditions have caused an intense hurricane season that has already exceeded typical numbers.
Storms form rapidly across the ocean
Tropical storms are developing in large numbers over recent weeks. Experts say these systems appear to be forming like items on an assembly line. Warmer water temperatures have triggered this unusual chain of weather events around the globe.
Eastern Pacific sees high activity
The count of hurricanes in the eastern Pacific has surpassed what happens during a normal year. Hurricane Polo recently moved over Mexico while shifting between Category 4 and Category 5 strength. Hawaii now faces potential flooding from the growing Hurricane Nolo.
El Nino effects will last
University of Miami expert Brian McNoldy predicts the current El Nino will peak this winter. He added that the weather pattern will linger into 2027 rather than turning off immediately. This shift weakens surface winds and drives record global heat.
