A continuing moderate and still strengthening El Nino event still presides throughout the Central Pacific Basin, which usually implies the continued threat of late-season tropical cyclone development and a less than normal rainfall pattern, thus exacerbating the already severe and extreme drought conditions on certain parts of the islands.
Click the following link for a brief one-page PDF file summarizing the current and expected conditions.
Possible Late Season Tropical Cyclones and Continuing Drought Conditions
It was the El Nino related, late-season Hurricane "Iwa" in 1982 which passed barely west of Kauai from the south about a week before Thanksgiving. So we in Hawaii must remain vigilant for several months to come.
