Hurricane Trudy Impacts Mexico's Pacific Coast with Heavy Rainfall
Hurricane Trudy, a Category 2 storm, brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Mexico’s Pacific coast on October 17, 2026. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted the hurricane would move away from the region by Monday or Tuesday after remaining near the Mexican coastline through Sunday evening. Maximum sustained wind speeds reached 100 mph (155 kph), and heavy rainfall of up to 12 inches was expected in coastal areas, raising concerns about flooding and landslides. The Mexican Navy issued warnings for mariners and residents due to high waves and the risk of rising rivers. Authorities noted that prior storms had already saturated the ground along the Pacific coast, increasing vulnerability to damage from additional rainfall. In parallel, Typhoon Champi moved away from Guam after passing near its southern tip with sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph), though it was expected to potentially strengthen into a Category 5 typhoon by Monday evening.
