The Pacific hurricane season is experiencing unprecedented levels of activity, significantly impacting the California coast and extending to Hawaii. This year has set a record for big, long-lasting storms fueled by a strengthening El Niño, leaving thousands without power in the US and Mexico. Multiple reports highlight this season as the most active on record, with the Northeast Pacific region witnessing unusual hurricane activity while the Atlantic remains relatively quiet. As residents prepare for Hawaii’s wet season and ongoing storms, climate experts note that the current conditions are a direct result of El Niño, which has intensified storm activity across the region.
