Tropical Storm Rachel is tracking along Mexico's Pacific coast, prompting attention from residents and authorities in coastal areas. Details on wind speeds, rainfall and potential damage remain limited, but storms along this coastline typically bring heavy rain and flooding risks to western Mexican states.

The New York Times has published live tracking maps following Typhoon Surigae, which formed in the western Pacific and intensified into one of the strongest storms of the season. The maps show the typhoon's projected path, wind speeds and areas at risk, helping readers follow its movement across the region.

Tropical Storm Rachel has formed in the eastern Pacific, trailing Hurricane Polo as both systems move toward Mexico's coast. Forecasters are watching whether the storms could bring heavy rain, coastal flooding and strong winds to western Mexico in the coming days, with residents and authorities along the shoreline urged to monitor advisories.

Forecasters are tracking a series of East Pacific hurricanes expected to steer away from California while bringing heavy rain to the interior Southwest. Once the tropical moisture passes, meteorologists say a major, long-duration autumn heatwave is likely to build over the region, raising concerns about heat impacts and lingering fire risk in the western United States.
