The Pacific hurricane “Hilary” has quickly developed into a severe cyclone and is heading for northwestern Mexico. The storm reached sustained wind speeds of up to 195 kilometers per hour around 715 kilometers south of the tourist coastal city of Cabo San Lucas on Thursday evening (local time), as the US hurricane center in Miami announced. It is a level three out of five hurricane.
According to the Mexican Weather Service, the cyclone is expected to hit the west coast of the Baja California peninsula twice on Sunday. “Hilary” has a diameter of 1,000 kilometers. Meteorologists predicted that the hurricane would reach category four over warm seas on Saturday and then weaken slightly before making landfall near Punta Eugenia.
Hurricane season begins May 15 in the Pacific and June 1 in the Atlantic. It will be declared over in both regions on November 30th. Tropical cyclones form over warm ocean water. Global warming increases the likelihood of severe storms. Wind speeds of 119 kilometers per hour or more are called a hurricane.
