Flood Watch through 10/28 | Statewide Wildfire Emergency Proclamation Remains in Effect

Expect heavy rain until early 10/29 throughout the island. Hawaiʻi's statewide wildfire emergency proclamation remains in effect through Dec. 15 to support ongoing wildfire recovery and prevention efforts. The proclamation does not announce new visitor closures or travel restrictions on Oʻahu.

Instead, our editors recommend

Wildfire Precautions and Indoor Alternatives on Oʻahu

Before heading out for a hike or other outdoor adventure, check local fire conditions and follow any posted restrictions. For an indoor alternative, explore Hawaiian history at Bishop Museum or ʻIolani Palace, visit the Honolulu Museum of Art, or try a Hawaiian cooking class or cultural workshop.
