Story summary

Tropical Storm Nolo strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane on October 2, 2026, with maximum sustained winds rapidly intensifying to 115 mph (185 kph) in the remote Pacific Ocean. The storm was located about 210 miles (335 kilometers) south-southwest of Maro Reef, moving west at 17 mph (28 kph) and far from any populated islands. On October 4, it crossed the international date line into the Western Pacific, changing its name to Typhoon Nolo due to a naming convention shift across different regions. The storm was still maintaining Category 3 strength with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph) after crossing the dateline and was not expected to threaten land for several days.
