Three hurricanes — Karina, Lowell and Marie — are churning in the Pacific Ocean, a high level of activity that climate scientists say is on brand for El Niño.

Three hurricanes are sweeping across the Pacific Ocean and one could dump 10 inches of rain on two Hawaiian islands.

A rare trio of hurricanes were churning through the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, which scientists attributed to waters warmed by a historically strong El Niño phenomenon.

The storm has intensified quickly since becoming a hurricane Sunday and has been fueled by warm waters far offshore, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Hurricane Lowell intensified to a Category 5 storm Wednesday in the Pacific Ocean and is expected to remain a powerful hurricane over the next several days, the National Hurricane Center said. The center of the cyclone was located about 445 miles (715 kilometers) south of Hilo,

Karina rapidly strengthened into a major Category 3 hurricane Sunday evening and was moving west over the Pacific Ocean, forecasters said.

A rare trio of tropical cyclones was spotted over the Pacific. Warming in the Eastern Pacific Ocean caused by El Niño created conditions for storms to develop in this region. El Niño is a climate pattern in which sea surface temperatures in the tropical ...

Lowell, Karina and Marie are churning across the Pacific as El Niño conditions fuel rare simultaneous hurricane activity. Hawaii is monitoring Lowell’s northward track this weekend.

Despite an active Pacific hurricane season, strong El Niño-driven wind shear over the Atlantic has led to fewer, weaker storms.

Karina, Lowell and Marie — and a fourth system could form. Hawaii could see watches for Lowell later Saturday.
