2026年9月29日上午6:00(美国东部时间),8分钟前……过去一个月里,连续发生的三场飓风让夏威夷提前感受到了今年“厄尔尼诺现象”可能给美国其他多个州带来的影响。
September 29, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. EDT 8 minutes ago Three hurricanes in the last month have given Hawaii a taste of what a record-setting El Niño will bring to many states this year.
在飓风“诺洛”(Nolo)偏离夏威夷之前,飓风“洛厄尔”(Lowell)和飓风“拉拉”(Lala)已经给该地区带来了暴雨和洪水,导致电力中断、道路被冲毁、房屋受损。
Before Hurricane Nolo veered away from the Aloha State, Hurricane Lowell and Hurricane Lala brought rain and flooding —knocking out power, washing out roads and destroying homes. A resident of Hawaiian Ocean View, Hawaii, carries supplies through the rain from Hurricane Lala on Aug. 15.
8月15日,夏威夷奥申尼维尤(Ocean View)的一名居民在暴雨中搬运救援物资。
For months, Hawaii has been surrounded by unusually warm waters that stretch for thousands of miles.
几个月来,夏威夷周边海域的水温一直异常升高(这种高温海域覆盖了数千英里的范围)。这种异常高的海水温度加剧了东太平洋和中太平洋地区的上升气流和雷暴活动,为热带风暴的形成及发展提供了有利条件。
This large expanse of record ocean warmth has fueled widespread rising air and thunderstorms across the eastern and central Pacific, helping to create an environment that’s more conducive for tropical storms to form and intensify into hurricanes. A stripe of much warmer than average ocean water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, shaded orange and red, marks the strongest El Niño on record. (Ben Noll/The Washington Post/NASA) Hurricanes aren’t uncommon in this region, but they usually weaken before reaching Hawaii because they encounter cooler ocean waters and harsh winds. These factors make direct hurricane impacts in Hawaii rare.

8月16日,飓风“拉拉”过后,一名青少年在夏威夷山景镇(Mountain View)附近涉水而行;8月17日,在纳莱胡(Naalehu),一名妇女和一名儿童走在布满废墟的街道上;9月8日,飓风“洛厄尔”引发的海浪猛烈冲击了欧胡岛(Oahu)西海岸。( 导致许多地区断电数日。

对于依赖旅游业发展的当地居民来说,他们既感到沮丧,又担心如何维持生计。

官员们表示,“洛厄尔”摧毁了10所房屋,并导致至少67所房屋严重受损。
Officials said Lowell destroyed 10 homes and caused major damage to at least 67 others.

东太平洋和中太平洋的飓风季节将持续到11月,而厄尔尼诺现象将增加季末风暴的风险。因此,夏威夷尚未完全脱离险境。
Hurricane season continues through November in the eastern and central Pacific, and El Niño will increases the risk for late season storms. So Hawaii isn’t out of the woods just yet.
