Hurricane Celia forms
Jump to Comments
The first hurricane of the Pacific season has formed off the coast of Mexico.
According to the United States National Hurricane Centre, Hurricane Celia formed about 350 miles off the coast of Acapulco and is expected to strengthen over the next two days.
However, despite sustained winds of some 80 miles per hour, the hurricane presently presents no danger to land and is believed to be moving away from Mexico at a rate of nine miles per hour.
The British meteorological office has warned that as many as 27 storms could be recorded in the North Atlantic this year, well ahead of the long-term average of 12.4 storms per year.
The hurricane season is predicted to last until November.
