๐ A TALE OF TWO OCEANS: Pacific vs. Atlantic ๐
We are seeing a classic split right now! Thanks to the massive El Niรฑo this year, the Pacific is incredibly active while the Atlantic stays quiet. Here is the breakdown:
๐ The Pacific (Highly Active):
Expect an extremely busy hurricane season. There are two ongoing hurricanes this weekend!
Hurricane Fausto is currently weakening, but could still impact the Hawaiian Islands by early next week.
Note: Hawaii becomes much more prone to hurricane impacts during super strong El Niรฑo years like we are seeing in 2026.
โ๏ธ The Atlantic (Quiet):
Things are staying very quiet post-Bertha. We expect the Atlantic to remain calm at least through August 5th.
Stay tuned for more updates as Fausto gets closer to Hawaii! ๐บโ๏ธ
๐๏ธ This month's episode of The Watch Office podcast explores a critical part of emergency management that often goes unnoticedโbut makes all the difference when it matters most.
Our latest guests share how the work they do before disaster strikes helps ensure Florida is ready to support communities through times of crisis.
Any guesses on what connects our Ep. 11 guests? ๐
