A tropical depression, with winds of 35 miles per hour, is approaching the Big Island of Hawaii and is expected to strengthen into a Category 2 storm as it nears the island Saturday, according to the US National Hurricane Center.

The presence of El Niño is linked to warmer water temperatures in the Pacific, which has resulted in a hyperactive storm season in the Pacific Ocean. This increased cyclonic activity in Hawaii could lead to significant impacts, including life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
