  "summary": "Hurricane Simon has weakened to a Category 3 storm as it moves parallel to Mexico's Pacific coast, bringing strong winds and heavy rains that have flooded homes. The storm, which was packing maximum sustained winds of 205km/h, was located about 175km west-northwest of the port city of Manzanillo at 6pm on Sunday. Additional weakening is forecast, but Simon is still expected to remain a strong hurricane as it approaches the coast of west-central Mexico later in the day.",
