Winter weather advisory for Big Island – In June! – Video

The Hawaii National Weather Service was forced to issue the advisory alert after freezing rain and ice appeared in areas of the Big Island.

10 Jun 2018 – “Lava is entering into the ocean that is creating a lot of steam. As that steam rises up it cools and falls back down as freezing rain and fog.

“I have never seen this before,” says meteorologist. “This has sparked a winter weather warning for above 12,000 ft. There are ice on the roadways so this is creating dangerous conditions.”

“This weather is yet another unusual byproduct of this lava flow that continues to emerge.”
