Hurricane Simon strengthens off Mexico’s Pacific coast
Simon is expected to make landfall on Sunday between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta, bringing the risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
Hurricane Simon is rapidly intensifying off Mexico's Pacific coast, with sustained winds reaching 177 kph, according to the US National Hurricane Center. The storm, which is nearing Category 3 strength, is expected to become a dangerous Category 4 by Saturday as it approaches the popular tourist regions of southwestern and west-central Mexico. The NHC predicts that Simon could bring significant hurricane impact to this stretch of the Mexican Pacific coast, one of the most affected areas since Hurricane Lidia in 2023.
