Hurricane Polo and Tropical Storm Rachel impact Mexico's Pacific coast FAST-MOVING

Mexico is facing dual weather threats as Hurricane Polo and Tropical Storm Rachel impact the Pacific coast. Hurricane Polo, a Category 3 storm, is approaching Baja California Sur and is projected to make landfall on Monday, September 28. The storm has triggered school closures in Los Cabos and several municipalities, while ports remain closed and beaches are under black-flag restrictions due to dangerous ocean swells.

In Jalisco, severe storms associated with the weather systems have caused significant destruction. In the community of La Cuesta, Talpa de Allende, a sudden stream surge destroyed multiple homes. Authorities have confirmed the deaths of two children, aged 3 and 12, and have located the body of a woman; search operations continue for her husband, who remains missing.

Simultaneously, Tropical Storm Rachel has formed from Tropical Depression 18-E off the coasts of Oaxaca and Guerrero. Rachel is expected to bring intense rainfall of 75 to 150 mm to southern Oaxaca and Guerrero, alongside high winds and heavy surf. Authorities in Sonora and Sinaloa remain on alert for potential impacts from the ongoing weather activity.
