National Weather Service

A strong winter storm downed trees, knocked out power and flooded soccer fields as it moved across the Hawaiian Islands this week. The National Weather Service says the weather was typical of the kind of storm Hawaiʻi occasionally gets in December and January.

The National Weather Service predicts above average precipitation in the large scale across the Hawaiian Islands as the state heads into a possible third wet season with La Niña conditions. If the La Niña conditions are strong, rain could be more concentrated in certain areas while leaving other areas dry.

Towering waves on Hawaiʻi's south shores crashed into local homes and businesses, spilled across highways and toppled tables at a wedding reception over the weekend. The National Weather Service says the large waves came from a combination of a southern swell that peaked Saturday evening, unusually high tides and rising sea levels from climate change.

The National Weather Service predicts a slower hurricane season in Hawaiʻi with two to four tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific region. The 2022 wet season will likely be the third La Niña year in a row.
