Tropical Storm Fausto

Tropical Storm Fausto generated large swells, triggering high surf warnings and lifeguard restrictions at several Hawaii beaches on July 29, 2026. The storm caused hazardous conditions across the Hawaiian islands.

Southern California is experiencing uncharacteristically high humidity this summer, with dew points near 70°F in Los Angeles. Meteorologists attribute this to tropical storms like Fausto and Genevieve, regional weather patterns, and warming ocean temperatures increasing moisture levels. The National Weather Service notes this humidity is abnormal but not producing rain.

Tropical Storm Fausto is weakening as it approaches the islands, leading to high surf warnings and beach closures. Heavy rainfall is expected in isolated areas through Thursday.

Hurricane Genevieve rapidly intensified to Category 5 status in the eastern Pacific, marking the first such hurricane since 2024 and the 21st observed since satellite monitoring began. Tropical Storm Fausto is causing dangerous surf near Hawaii, while the Atlantic remains inactive due to record-breaking wind shear.

Tropical Storm Fausto is approaching Hawaii, causing dangerous surf and potential heavy rain, while Hurricane Genevieve remains a major hurricane far from the islands.

Tropical Storm Fausto will pass north of the Hawaiian Islands through Wednesday, bringing dangerous surf, increasing showers, and the chance for some heavy rain before drier weather returns later this week.

Hurricane Genevieve, a Category 4 storm, is moving northwest in the Pacific Ocean far from land, while Tropical Storm Fausto, previously a hurricane, is weakening as it approaches Hawaii. Genevieve's swells are causing dangerous surf and rip currents along Mexico's southwestern coast and Baja California, and Fausto is expected to bring large surf and strong currents to Hawaii's east-facing shores.

Hurricane Genevieve is active in the Pacific Ocean far from land, while Tropical Storm Fausto is causing increased impacts on Hawaii as it weakens from a hurricane.

Hurricane Genevieve, a Category 4 storm, was moving northwest in the Pacific Ocean far from land, while Tropical Storm Fausto weakened as it approached Hawaii.

Hurricane Genevieve, a Category 4 storm, was moving northwest in the Pacific Ocean, far from land, while Tropical Storm Fausto weakened as it approached Hawaii, causing large surf and strong currents. Genevieve's swells posed risks to Mexico’s southwestern coast and Baja California, though no coastal watches were issued. Fausto, now a tropical storm with 65 mph winds, was expected to pass north of Hawaii.

Tropical Storm Bertha is moving northwest toward the Florida Panhandle and Alabama with 50 mph winds, prompting tropical storm warnings and storm surge watches. The storm could bring heavy rain, flash flooding, and up to 4-foot storm surges to coastal areas from Florida to Texas. Hurricane Fausto formed in the Pacific but poses no threat to land.

Tropical Storm Bertha formed in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle, threatening the US Gulf Coast with heavy rain, storm surge, and damaging winds. The storm, moving west-northwest, is expected to affect coastal areas from Florida to Texas, with a tropical storm watch issued from Florida's Ochlockonee River to Louisiana. Another storm, Fausto, strengthened in the eastern Pacific but poses no threat to land.

Tropical Storm Bertha formed in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle, threatening heavy rain, storm surge, and damaging winds along the northern Gulf Coast.

Tropical Storm Bertha formed in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle, threatening heavy rain, storm surge, and damaging winds along the US Gulf Coast. The storm is expected to move westward toward Texas, impacting coastal areas in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and potentially causing flash flooding and tornadoes. It is the second tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, following Tropical Storm Arthur.

Tropical Storm Fausto is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Tuesday as it moves northwest over the eastern Pacific. The storm is forecast to create dangerous surf along Baja California later this week but is not expected to make landfall elsewhere.

A tropical depression along the US Gulf coast is expected to become a tropical storm by Monday, prompting new weather warnings. Separately, Tropical Storm Fausto is strengthening off Mexico's south-west Pacific coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Fausto formed off Mexico’s southwest Pacific coast and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane, while a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle threatens to become a named storm. The Gulf system could bring heavy rainfall to northern Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas as it moves westward.

Tropical Storm Fausto formed offshore far from Mexico’s Pacific coastline. The event was reported by the Associated Press from Miami.
