Barbara Becomes the First Northern Hemisphere Hurricane of the Year
- Hurricane Barbara developed off Mexico's southwestern coast and was identified on June 9, 2025, as the earliest hurricane to form in the East Pacific region during the 2025 season.
- Barbara formed shortly after the start of the hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific, which began in mid-May, with forecasters predicting an above-average season and monitoring Tropical Storm Cosme in the vicinity.
- The storm was traveling northwest at about 10 mph with wind speeds reaching up to 75 mph and was anticipated to bring heavy rainfall and dangerous surf conditions to southwestern Mexico.
- The National Hurricane Center emphasized potential flooding and mudslides from two to four inches of rainfall, warning that swells could cause dangerous surf and rip currents along the coast.
- Barbara is forecast to weaken by Tuesday without making landfall, suggesting limited direct impact but continuing Pacific basin storm activity amid no current storms in the Atlantic or West Pacific.
