As per reports, Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA – National Water Commission of Mexico) and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) have issued a critical alert for the Eastern Pacific on Monday (28 July), monitoring a weather disturbance with a high probability (90 percent within seven days) of developing into a tropical depression, and subsequently into a tropical storm or hurricane from Wednesday (30 July).

• Located initially a few hundred miles south of southwestern Mexico, the system is forecast to move west-northwestward, largely staying offshore.
• However, it is anticipated to bring heavy rainfall to parts of Mexican states, including those along the Pacific coast (Jalisco, Michoacán, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas) and extending inland to areas such as Puebla, Colima, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango.
