Hurricane Polo Strengthens to Category 5 Off Mexico, Bringing Flood Risks
Hurricane Polo rapidly intensified from a tropical depression to a Category 5 storm off Mexico's Pacific coast, with sustained winds reaching up to 165 mph. The US National Hurricane Center forecasts Polo will remain offshore but could bring dangerous weather, including heavy rain, flooding, and mudslides, especially in Guerrero and Michoacán. Mexican authorities have issued tropical storm warnings and urged residents to stay alert. The storm's development is influenced by El Niño conditions, and it poses risks despite not making direct landfall.
