Storms and warnings

Read live from the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service each time this page opens, so what you see is what is in effect now. In an emergency, follow your county's emergency management agency and the Weather Service, not this page.

Central Pacific systems, and eastern Pacific systems west of 130°W that could cross into Hawaiʻi's basin, from the hurricane centre's own file of active storms. Distance is straight-line from Honolulu to the centre's reported position; a storm's effects reach far beyond its centre.

Ocean water advisories

Every alert the Weather Service has in effect for any Hawaiʻi zone, and the Department of Health's open ocean water advisories, in the agencies' own words. Alerts for one area appear on that area's page too.

Before a storm: check the hazard zones at your address, including whether it sits in a tsunami evacuation zone.
