Hurricane Gilma was a major hurricane in the Eastern Pacific. Gilma formed on August 18, 2024 as a tropical storm and slowly strengthened, becoming a hurricane three days later on August 21. Over the next day, Gilma rapidly strengthened into a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph (185 km/hr).
As Gilma drifted west and moved over cooler waters, the storm gradually weakened into a Category 1 hurricane. On August 24, Gilma rapidly intensified for the second time, peaking as a Category 4 storm with winds of 130 mph (210 km/hr).
Gilma continued to move west into the Central Pacific and encountered unfavorable atmospheric conditions. As a result, the storm quickly weakened. On August 30, 2024, Gilma dissipated 200 miles (320 km) east of Hawaii’s Big Island.
Gilma’s remnants brought showers and rough seas to Hawaii. Dangerous conditions prompted a rescue of two people stranded in sail boat, over 900 miles (1450 km) from Honolulu, Hawaii.
