Hurricane Charlotte is turning into a hurricane and could be life-threatening
Hurricane "Carlotta" has gained strength over the Pacific and intensified into a hurricane. The storm is moving away from the Mexican coast with wind speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami reported on Friday. Waves caused by "Carlotta" could reach the central Mexican Pacific coast and the southern tip of Baja California. Over the weekend, they could become life-threatening and cause strong rip currents.
As of Friday morning (local time), the eye of the hurricane was located approximately 730 kilometers southwest of the southern tip of Baja California and was moving westward at a speed of about 22 kilometers per hour.
The hurricane's westward movement is expected to continue, potentially affecting other coastal areas in its path. As people in these areas prepare for potential impacts, it's important to avoid any unnecessary beach activities due to the hazardous moving waves.
