Located 220 miles south of Cozumel, Mexico, this is a frustration and tropical storm clocks and warnings have been issued for parts of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Maximum sustained winds are currently at 35 miles per hour, but the system is expected to strengthen in the next 24 to 36 hours in tropical storms.
The tropical depression is heading northwest at twenty-five o’clock and should reach the coast of Mexico near Cozumel on Saturday evening. Slow motion of the system in and around the Yucatan Peninsula and the southern Gulf of Mexico is expected in the next 5 days, which could produce fatal floods and mudslides in eastern Mexico.
The hurricane season is not over
The Atlantic hurricane season has already been very active, but it is not over yet. Technically, the season doesn’t end until November 30, but after a few years the storms continue well after that.
So far, tropical depression is not expected to affect the United States in the next twenty-five weeks.
The October storms are not uncommon
“If you’re looking at other significant hurricanes affecting the Gulf Coast in recent years, look no further than Hurricane Michael formed in the same area of concern we’re seeing today,” says CNN meteorologist Michael Guy.
Hurricane Michael formed southeast of the Yucatan Peninsula on October 1, 2018, strengthened in Hurricane Nam on October 7, and then three days later formed a landfill as a Category 5 hurricane near Mexico Beach, Florida.
Each named hurricane so far this season, with the exception of three (Arthur, Berth, and Dolly Lee) set their own personal record for the earliest named hurricane in recorded history.
