Huracán Polo

Hurricane Polo made landfall on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, prompting warnings of life-threatening winds and coastal surge along the Pacific coast. Authorities in Mexico urged residents to prepare as the storm approached, while US weather outlets tracked its path. The hurricane drew added attention as a separate coastal storm battered the Northeast United States at the same time.

Hurricane Polo is approaching Baja California Sur, Mexico, with landfall expected between 4 and 6 pm on Monday, September 28. Authorities have restricted movement in the state as strong winds and high surf hit the coast. Together with Tropical Storm Rachel, Polo is intensifying rainfall across Mexico's Pacific coast, and a high-surf and coastal flooding advisory has been issued for southern California. President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the population ahead of the storm's arrival.
