In late August, two hurricanes and a tropical storm formed in the Pacific. Captured by the WindRadar, and by satellite.

Hurricanes Hone and Gilma were joined by Tropical Storm Hector on August 25th. Hone impacted Hawaii, where flooding broke out amid torrential rainfall. Up to 700 mm falling over the north-east coast of Hawaii's Big Island.

As this was happening, all the action was tracked on our WindRadar, while high above, the NOAA-21 satellite was monitoring the situation too.
