Early Arrival of El Niño Brings Strong Impact on Global Weather.
El Niño conditions have arrived in the Pacific earlier than expected, according to NOAA. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center's outlook for the 2023 hurricane season is still the most likely, with a 50% chance of above-normal tropical cyclone activity. Kilauea's vog emissions are more impactful than Mauna Loa's due to its lower altitude, and the Kona coast is expected to be the most impacted. Residents can check vog models for information on type, concentrations, and locations.
