Tropical Storm Henriette strengthens again in the Pacific, yet remains off course and predicted not to affect any landmasses.
Tropical Storm Henriette Remains a Hurricane, Ivo Dissipates
As of mid-August 2025, Tropical Storm Henriette has rapidly strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane in the central Pacific Ocean. It is currently located about 450 miles east-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, and is moving northwest at about 18 mph, expected to pass well north of the Hawaiian Islands, posing no threat to land. Further strengthening is forecast through Monday, followed by weakening starting Tuesday, and no watches or warnings have been issued[1][2][4].
Meanwhile, remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Ivo have degenerated and are located about 615 miles west of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. There is no threat to land from Ivo, and no coastal warnings are in effect[1].
Tropical Storm Ivo was previously moving west-northwest at 7 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. Swells from Tropical Storm Ivo will affect the southern part of the Baja California Peninsula for the next day or so, likely causing life-threatening surf and rip current conditions[3].
Henriette, on the other hand, has maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, making it a hurricane. Some further strengthening of Henriette is forecast for the next couple of days[1].
It is worth noting that both Henriette and Ivo are moving through the Pacific Ocean. As of now, neither storm poses an immediate threat to populated areas[1].

The weather in the central Pacific Ocean is experiencing another development, as Tropical Storm Henriette has intensified into a Category 1 hurricane. On the contrary, Tropical Storm Ivo's weather has deteriorated, and it is no longer a threat to any land.
