Overview

  • At 06:00 local time, Raymond’s center was about 95 km southwest of Punta San Telmo, Michoacán and 265 km west of Zihuatanejo, with sustained winds near 95 km/h, gusts to 110 km/h, moving west-northwest at 22 km/h.
  • The storm is driving intense rain and coastal hazards for Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán and Guerrero, with 60–80 km/h gusts on some coasts and waves of 3–4 meters, prompting ongoing tropical-storm alerts from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes.
  • Federal and state authorities activated Plan Marina and Plan DN-III, deployed thousands of personnel, and Colima closed access to beaches in Manzanillo, Armería and Tecomán while joint patrols urged evacuations from risky coastal areas.
  • Protection Civil reported heavy rains in 31 states and confirmed two deaths: a child in a landslide in Pinal de Amoles, Querétaro, and a municipal police officer in Papantla, Veracruz during rescue work.
  • Zihuatanejo logged one of the highest totals at 151 mm, and the Río Cazones overflowed in Poza Rica, Veracruz, flooding neighborhoods and damaging homes as authorities opened shelters and expanded local command posts.
