Hawaii's weather outlook has improved markedly in just a couple of days. While the Big Island continues to see heavy rain in places, forecasters no longer expect the torrential rain previously predicted for the other islands. The shift comes amid an active Pacific hurricane season, with concerns about flooding and El Niño conditions. Residents had been bracing for severe weather, so the revised forecast is being welcomed as a relief across Maui and neighbouring islands.
Why now: A sudden improvement in the forecast for Hawaii's islands amid hurricane and flooding concerns has caught people's attention.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 2 snapshots from 2 h ago to 1 h ago.
