Hurricane Rachel has strengthened into a category 3 storm off Mexico's Pacific coast, with large waves crashing along Los Cocos beach near San Blas, Nayarit. Attention is heightened because northern Mexico is still recovering from Hurricane Polo, and this Pacific season has been unusually active, a pattern being attributed to El Niño conditions.

Why now: A major hurricane threatening the Mexican coast during an unusually active season, shortly after Hurricane Polo, is drawing concern.
