Tropical Storm Moke Brings Heavy Rain to Hawaii After Hurricane Lala
US · Published Aug 25, 2026
Tropical Storm Moke has made its closest approach to Hawaii, bringing significant rainfall to the Big Island and other parts of the state.
This marks Hawaii's second tropical weather event in a week, following the devastating impact of Hurricane Lala.

Impact & Risks

The primary risk from Tropical Storm Moke is heavy rainfall, which could lead to life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas already saturated from Hurricane Lala. The Big Island and eastern Maui are at the highest risk, with significant rainfall expected to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities. A flood watch remains in effect for parts of the Big Island through Monday afternoon. The steep terrain of the islands increases the likelihood of rapid water accumulation and landslides, posing a threat to residents and infrastructure.
