Part of El Niño is increasing tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, with Hurricane Polo affecting Mexico and Hurricane Nolo heading toward the Big Island.

How does the activity of multiple weather systems affect the port of Guaymas?

The Mexican navy gathered aid and personnel in Guaymas due to approaching storms. As Hurricane Polo bore down on Baja California Sur, the primary concern shifted to potential life-threatening impacts on the peninsula. In response to the approaching storm, the Mexican navy mobilized resources along the Pacific coast. Specifically, the navy gathered personnel and humanitarian aid in the ports of Guaymas and Mazatlan. These resources are ready to be deployed via three vessels to assist coastal communities that may become isolated due to the storm.
