Summary

Hurricane Polo, a major Pacific hurricane that fluctuated between Category 3 and Category 5 strength, threatened Mexico's Pacific coast and Baja California Peninsula from late September 2026. The storm brought torrential rainfall, flooding, and landslides to Mexico, with landfall expected in Baja California Sur on September 28. Rainfall of 4–8 inches, with isolated maximums of 10 inches, threatened life-threatening flooding and mudslides. Ports in Los Cabos were closed, and cruise ships rerouted to avoid the storm. The hurricane also affected Southern California with dangerous rip currents, coastal flooding, and erosion threats. Remnants of Hurricane Polo subsequently brought heavy rainfall and flooding to southern New Mexico, with multiple road closures and flash flood watches across the state. Clovis, New Mexico, was particularly hard hit, receiving approximately 10 inches of rain and sustaining damage to homes and businesses, with at least one fatality reported during storm-related repairs. Concurrently, Tropical Storm Nolo approached Hawaii with potential for heavy rainfall and flooding. A separate Tropical Storm Rachel also formed off Mexico's southwest coast.
