El Niño fuels a busy Pacific season as Hawaii faces Lowell and California braces for tropical moisture and swells

El Niño is boosting the eastern Pacific’s tropical season, with forecasts for up to 22 named storms and 9–13 hurricanes. A near-term threat to Hawaii comes from Category 5 Lowell, which could bring rough surf and heavy rain if it tracks close; meanwhile tropical moisture from Marie could dip into the southwestern U.S., including California, raising heavy rain and flash‑flood risks, though direct landfall in California is unlikely; swells and sneaker waves are expected along the California coast through Labor Day weekend, with another moisture surge possible in mid-September.

SoCal West Nile virus surge: how to protect yourself this season

West Nile virus activity is surging early in Southern California, with Orange County detecting the virus in 10 cities and testing 38 mosquito pools, and Los Angeles County reporting 27 positive mosquito samples; nationwide there have been at least 48 human cases by June 30, including 38 neuroinvasive cases, though California has only one confirmed human infection this year. Health officials urge practical prevention: use EPA-registered repellents with DEET/IR3535/oil of lemon eucalyptus/picaridin, wear long sleeves and pants at dawn/dusk, eliminate standing water, repair screens, and report neglected pools or dead birds to local vector control agencies.
