An unusual trio of hurricanes is currently traversing the Pacific Ocean due to historically intense warming of the waters. ^[1] The National Hurricane Center of the United States reported that Hurricane Lowell reached Category 5, Hurricane Karina reached Category 4, and Tropical Storm Marie intensified into a hurricane. ^[2] Hurricane Louel has reached Category 5 status, the maximum level on the Saffir-Simpson scale, while Hurricane Karina is currently at Category 4 strength. ^[3] Hurricanes Karina and Lowell, both of category 4, are advancing westward in the Pacific Ocean. ^[4] The National Hurricane Center stated that surges generated by Lowell are propagating north and will affect some parts of the Hawaiian islands in the coming days. ^[5] Julia Cole, a climatologist at the University of Michigan, stated to AFP that having three active hurricanes at the same time is definitively rare to observe. ^[6] The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States stated that the phenomenon this year has a 69% probability of becoming the most intense ever recorded. ^[7] Hurricane Marie is currently located approximately 600 kilometers southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, with sustained maximum winds near 130 kilometers per hour. ^[8] American meteorologists estimate a 69 percent chance that the current El Niño episode in 2026 will reach historically intense levels. ^[9] The National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns that Hurricane Louel will generate dangerous wave surges heading north toward parts of Hawaii, even if the storm does not directly hit the islands. ^[10] Tropical Storm Mari formed near the coast of Mexico and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane in the near future. ^[11]
