Former Tropical Depression 15-E May Reform Near Hawaii, Heavy Rain Expected
US · Published Sep 22, 2026
The remnants of former Tropical Depression 15-E are showing signs of reorganisation several hundred miles east-southeast of Hawaii.
According to the National Hurricane Center's update on 21 September 2026, the system is moving westward at 10-15 mph and is likely to redevelop into a tropical depression by mid to late week.

Impact & Risks

The eastern Hawaiian islands, including the Big Island and Maui, are at risk of heavy rainfall later this week. This could lead to localised flooding, particularly in areas prone to water accumulation such as stream crossings, dirt roads, and low-lying regions. Travellers and residents in these areas should remain vigilant as flood watches may be issued. The system's proximity to the islands increases the likelihood of significant rain and potential disruptions to outdoor activities and travel plans.
