Hurricane Polo barrels towards Baja California region of Mexico
Hurricane Polo is moving toward the Baja California region of Mexico as the second-most intense hurricane on record in the east Pacific. The storm is fueled by exceptionally warm ocean waters and is forecast to maintain powerful winds and heavy rainfall as it tracks northwest. Meanwhile, a separate low-pressure system is causing heavy rain and flooding in India, while extreme heat continues to affect parts of Europe.
- ▪Hurricane Polo recorded a pressure of 892 millibars on September 22, making it the second-most intense hurricane in east Pacific history.
- ▪The hurricane has maximum sustained winds of approximately 150 mph and is expected to turn west-northwest before heading northwesterly on Saturday.
- ▪A deep low-pressure system in India is bringing over 200mm of rainfall to Odisha, causing localized flooding and prompting school closures.
- ▪Portugal recorded a maximum temperature of 41.7C in Alvega on September 23, breaking previous July records due to persistent summer heat.
