Hawaii is currently experiencing significant weather and geological events, prompting authorities to issue warnings for residents and visitors.
High Surf Warning:
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for west-facing shores of the Big Island, in effect until 6:00 PM HST on Monday. Dangerously large breaking waves, ranging from 12 to 16 feet, are expected. These conditions pose serious hazards, including strong rip currents and potential impacts on coastal properties and infrastructure.
Volcanic Activity Alert:
The United States Geological Survey has issued an Orange Volcano Watch for Kīlauea. Although the eruption within Kaluapele (the summit caldera) is currently paused, the situation remains under close observation. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed and follow any instructions from local authorities.
Safety Recommendations:
- Avoid Shorelines: Stay away from affected coastlines to prevent injury from powerful waves and currents.
- Heed Road Closures: Be prepared for potential road closures near coastal areas due to hazardous conditions.
- Postpone Marine Activities: Delay entering or leaving channels affected by high surf until conditions improve.
- Stay Informed: Monitor updates from the National Weather Service and the United States Geological Survey for the latest information.
These concurrent natural events highlight the dynamic environmental conditions in Hawaii. Staying informed and exercising caution are essential to ensure safety during this period.
