Triple Pacific hurricanes driven by El Niño
On September 3, 2026, the Pacific Ocean experienced a rare phenomenon: the simultaneous presence of three hurricanes, resulting from elevated water temperatures caused by a strong El Niño event. The tropical storm "Mare" intensified and transformed into a hurricane off the coast of Baja California. Meanwhile, hurricanes "Katrina" and "Loyl" moved westward across the ocean, with forecasts indicating that "Loyl" would remain a powerful hurricane in the coming days, posing dangerous maritime conditions along the Hawaiian coasts. The increasing intensity of these hurricanes was linked to the El Niño phenomenon, which leads to higher temperatures and shifts in rainfall patterns. Warnings have been issued that this phenomenon could continue and even worsen through next year, increasing the risks of floods, droughts, and heatwaves worldwide.
