Hurricane Polo Approaches Mexico, Threatens 'Severe' Damage
- On Monday, September 28, 2026, Category 3 Hurricane Polo approached Baja California Sur with maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour, with landfall expected late that afternoon.
- Driven by a Super El Nino, severe weather patterns this year caused historic warming across the equatorial Pacific, complicating the hurricane's path after initial forecasts suggested it would not make landfall.
- Authorities deployed nearly 7,000 troops to Baja California Sur to assist with preventive action, and opened 169 temporary shelters to accommodate residents.
- In Puerto San Carlos, whale-watching guide Juan Manuel Sarabia told AFP, "It's coming with full force," as residents prepared for the storm and families opted to hunker down at home.
- The National Hurricane Center warned of "life-threatening winds and flash floods" across Baja California Sur and Sonora states, noting heavy rainfall could trigger dangerous mudslides as the cyclone moves inland.
