Summary

Hurricane Polo, which fluctuated between Category 3 and Category 5 strength, brought heavy rain, flooding, and landslides to Mexico's Pacific coast and Baja California Peninsula in late September 2026. The storm made landfall in Baja California Sur on September 28 with Category 3 strength and 120 mph winds, with rainfall of 4–8 inches expected and isolated maximums reaching 10 inches. Ports in Los Cabos closed, cruise ships rerouted, and the U.S. Embassy issued alerts for the region. The storm's remnants subsequently affected Southern California with dangerous rip currents and coastal flooding, and brought torrential rains to New Mexico, causing widespread flooding, road closures, and damage to homes and infrastructure. In New Mexico, Clovis received approximately 10 inches of rain with multiple homes and businesses damaged, and one death was reported during utility repairs. Tropical Storm Nolo approached Hawaii's Big Island and Maui with potential for heavy rainfall and flooding before moving away from the islands. A separate Tropical Storm Rachel also formed off Mexico's southwest coast during this period.
