Tropical Storm Octave Forms in Eastern Pacific With No Immediate Threat to Mexico

Officials say the system remains far offshore with no immediate risk to Mexico.

Overview

  • Octave became the 15th named cyclone of the 2025 season on September 30, according to SMN and Conagua.
  • Its center was located near 9.9°N, 113.5°W, about 1,495 km south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, moving northwest around 7 km/h.
  • Maximum sustained winds were estimated near 65 km/h with gusts up to 85 km/h in the latest official update.
  • Conagua reported that the storm’s distance and projected path mean it does not currently pose a danger to the country, though monitoring continues.
  • Forecast guidance indicates a gradual turn toward the north-northwest later in the weekend during an above-average season projected to produce 16–20 Pacific storms.
