Weather and ocean alerts

NWS Honolulu

Checking the National Weather Service for alerts in effect…

Ocean water advisories on Oʻahu

Checking the Department of Health…

Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zone covering McCully-Mōʻiliʻili (HIZ033), and the state Department of Health Clean Water Branch's open advisories (brown water, sewage spills, high bacteria) for the island, which the department names by beach or coastline rather than by area. Nothing here is stored or rewritten; each agency's own wording and dates are shown.

State highway lane closures

HDOT roadwork

Checking the Department of Transportation's closure schedule…

Read live from the state Department of Transportation's lane closure map layer when this page opens: approved closures on state highways in and near McCully-Mōʻiliʻili (within the area's bounding box, so a closure just outside may appear), from now through the next seven days, in the department's words. County streets are not included. Schedules can change without notice and all work is weather permitting, the department says.

Police reports

By block

287 incidents reported to the Honolulu Police Department in the 90 days to Nov. 4, 2026 (266 in the 90 days before). Most common: theft/larceny (69), motor vehicle theft (60), vandalism (43). Reports by block and by type.

Reports to police as HPD's open data records them, not findings or arrests; no one is named.

What neighbors reported to the city

ZIP 96826: 110 reports. Most common: Other (16), Traffic Signal (13), Debris/Litter/Dumping (7), Pothole (6), Street Sign (6).

Honolulu 311 reports from the city's open data, Oct. 6, 2026 to Nov. 4, 2026, counted by ZIP code; ZIP codes do not follow board boundaries, so each line describes the ZIP. Counts only: no address, no description, no report number. Request types are the city's own. Categories the city labels “Homeless” count calls made to the city, not people: they say how often neighbors reported something, not how many people are unhoused, and the state's point-in-time count is the source for that. Reports about crime are not counted here.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area, read through the Census Reporter API. These are survey estimates; ± is the 90% margin of error. ZIP code areas do not follow board boundaries, so each row describes the ZIP, not the board area. A ZIP is shown when at least a tenth of it lies inside this area.

The island-wide record

Oʻahu has one city government, so most decisions that reach McCully-Mōʻiliʻili are made for the whole island. Those records have one home each: City Council and committee agendas and every open land-use file.
