What happened
Hurricane Polo, a Category 3 storm with top sustained winds of 115 mph, is approaching Baja California Sur, threatening high winds, floods, and mudslides. Meanwhile, Hurricane Nolo is moving away from the Big Island, though it could still bring torrential rain to parts of Hawaii. Tropical Depression Fay is being monitored near the Azores.
Why it matters
The active tropical systems pose immediate risks to coastal communities and infrastructure in Baja California Sur. The presence of multiple storms in the Pacific is occurring during a period of increased tropical cyclone activity due to El Niño.
El Niño is increasing tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, with Hurricane Polo affecting Mexico and Hurricane Nolo heading toward the Big Island.
