Firepath Posted August 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2019 We are on POA in October. I know that's still prime hurricane season in the Atlantic, but isn't most of the threat over by then for the Pacific? Just trying to be realistic but also prepared.

Silver Sweethearts Posted August 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2019 According to Hawaii's State Department of Health: "The 2019 Central Pacific Hurricane Season officially began June 1 and runs until November 30. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu and National Hurricane Center in Miami monitor possible storms even during the off season." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted August 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Severe hurricanes Iwa (11/23/82) and Iniki (9/11/92) struck Kauai during the official Hurricane Season & your cruise is in the middle of those dates. Last summer was more active in Hawaii during an El Niño year which isn’t forecasted again this year & so far has had fewer tropical storms than last year. I’m not a meteorologist but have read that the Central Pacific cyclonic activity is less severe than in the Eastern Atlantic & Caribbean areas for 2 reasons: cooler water temperatures than along the equatorial region where they begin off of Mexico & also due to windshear which disrupts the cyclonic flow of tropical storms in Hawaii.
