Rare trio of Pacific cyclones form as El Nino creates perfect storm conditions

Cyclones Lowell, Karina and Marie have all been spotted in the Pacific – the first time three hurricanes have been simultaneously active in the Eastern or Central Pacific since 2015, as El Niño fuels rare weather conditions

Life-threatening surf threatens Hawaii as three Pacific cyclones churn at once, a rare pattern scientists link to unusually warm El Nino waters.

This year’s El Nino has a 69 per cent chance of becoming the strongest on record.

Hurricane Lowell and Hurricane Karina are Category 4 storms that are both expected to pass Hawaii from a distance, according to the National Hurricane Center.
