Hurricanes in Hawaii Hawaiian hurricanes usually form in the Pacific Ocean. The hurricane season in Hawaii lasts approximately between June 1 and November 30 of each year. Hawaii's hurricane season runs from June to November, although Aloha State records most hurricanes in July, August and September. The last major hurricane to cause historically devastating damage directly to the Hawaiian Islands was Hurricane Iniki in September 1992. When buying home insurance, be sure to ask the insurer if hurricane coverage is included or not.
Forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Central Pacific Hurricane Center said the Hawaii region could see fewer cyclones than normal for the next hurricane season. Hawaii's meteorologists and weather forecasters are currently closely watching Hurricane Darby, which was recently downgraded to a Category 3 hurricane early Tuesday morning. Storm insurance protects your home from hurricane winds, as if a tropical storm tore your roof off. To supplement this gap in coverage, you'll need to purchase windstorm insurance or hurricane insurance.
If Hurricane Darby doesn't weaken or you're in Hawaii during another possible hurricane threat, you'll want to have a plan.
