Honolulu Hail Map — Last 30 SPC Reporting Days

While hail is uncommon in the tropics, severe Kona storms can bring significant hail damage to Honolulu and surrounding communities. Our interactive Honolulu hail map tracks these rare severe weather events across Oahu, from Waikiki to Pearl City. This page shows live NOAA/SPC hail reports for Honolulu in the last 30 days.

About hail reports in Honolulu

Hail is a rare phenomenon in Honolulu, typically associated with strong upper-level low-pressure systems or severe Kona storms during the winter months. The most historic event occurred in March 2012, when a severe thunderstorm dropped record-breaking hail up to 4.25 inches in diameter across Oahu, causing unprecedented local property and vehicle damage.

This Honolulu area research page connects reported NOAA/SPC hail activity with THOR’s interactive map. Use the map to investigate a place, ZIP code, county, address, or storm area alongside available hail swaths, NEXRAD radar, and Timeline replay.

From hail research to field work

  1. Open the interactive map and review reported hail in the selected area.
  2. Compare the broader storm corridor with radar, hail swaths, and Timeline replay.
  3. Use Market Priority, Impact View, and map layers to focus the next area.
  4. Save the investigation as a property report, lead workflow, alert, or export.

Hail map questions

What is a hail swath map?

A hail swath is a radar-derived estimate of where a hail-producing storm cell traveled. THOR places swaths beside reported hail events, radar, and Timeline replay so you can study the full storm corridor.

Can I check hail history by address?

Yes. THOR searches by address, ZIP code, county, or place and creates Property Storm History reports that stay in My Reports for reopening, sharing, or browser PDF export.

Can roofing teams use THOR for canvassing?

Yes. THOR includes built-in canvassing with map pins, imported leads, statuses, notes, call and drive actions, follow-up dates, Storm Hits, Lead Storm Monitor, and exportable storm data.

How does THOR help prioritize storm damage work?

Market Priority compares the storm events already on the map with household, residential-density, population, and Residential Score context. Impact View, Heat Grid, and Timeline help the team sort the broader storm picture before field follow-up.

Build the next storm workflow

THOR combines nationwide hail research with storm replay, mapping, reports, alerts, canvassing, lead follow-up, and exports in one workspace.
