Hurricane Polo has grown into one of the most powerful Pacific cyclones in decades, threatening Mexico's Pacific coast as an "extremely dangerous" storm. Forecasters say Polo is expected to skirt the coast rather than make direct landfall, but Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco face heavy rain risk, while Baja California Sur braces for storm surge and strong winds. We break down the storm's path and what residents need to know. Watch the full update.


Hurricane Polo: One of the strongest Pacific storms ever, threatens Mexico's coast 

Hurricane Polo has quickly intensified to become the strongest storm recorded in the eastern Pacific Ocean in decades. It exploded into an "extremely dangerous" Category 5 storm on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after it became a hurricane. The National Hurricane Center said it has maximum sustained winds of 265 kmph. It is expected to brush past Mexico's southwestern coast as a Category 5 storm and is currently 338 kilometres south of Zihuatanejo.&nbsp;Satellite images show extreme lightning around its eye, which is nearly stationary, with wind gusts reaching up to 356 kmph in the eyewall. The Category 5 storm is barely moving, which means it will continue to pull huge amounts of water. It intensified almost overnight, at the fastest rate ever observed in the Eastern Pacific.<h2>Path of Hurricane Polo</h2> The storm's exact path remains unknown. Computer models show that it could either stall or loop, and even travel across northwestern Mexico. It could also bring dangerous conditions to the Baja Peninsula and western Mexico early next week. Remnant moisture from the system will push upwards towards the US in the next 10 days.&nbsp;Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Polo will not touch land, according to forecasts. However, people are staying away from beaches amid choppy seas. Several regions also suspended classes on Tuesday. Ports were shut down in the states of Guerrero and Michoacán, where 3 to 6 inches of rain can be expected. Heavy rains can trigger flash floods and mudslides. Fishermen have also been told to remain alert.<h2>How did Hurricane Polo intensify so quickly?</h2> The rapid intensification is clearly the result of El Niño, the weather phenomenon that brought droughts in Mexico and Central America. Surface ocean temperatures were 3.05 degrees Celsius above average in the Pacific on September 19. This creates the perfect conditions for hurricanes and typhoons. Meanwhile, the Atlantic has been without a major hurricane this season, the exact opposite effect of El Niño in the region.<h2>Hurricane Polo has already set and broken several records</h2>&nbsp;The hurricane is the strongest in the eastern Pacific in decades. National Hurricane Center data shows that only a few storms compare to Polo's speeds, one of which was Hurricane Patricia that formed in 2015 with wind speeds of 346 kmph. The last storm to intensify this quickly was &nbsp;Hurricane Otis in 2023, which brought widespread destruction in Acapulco, Mexico.&nbsp;With wind speeds of 265 kmph, Polo is tied with Hurricane Rick from 2009 for the third-highest winds ever recorded in the Pacific. It also has the fourth-highest wind speed of any hurricane worldwide.&nbsp;Hurricane Polo has also recorded the second-lowest pressure ever observed in the Pacific, with Hurricane Patricia ahead of it. The central pressure fell to 892 millibars, with only nine hurricanes of 1,088 recording pressures below 900 millibars since 1950. Hurricane Polo is the third Category 5 hurricane in the Eastern and Central Pacific this season, with Genevieve and Lowell being the other two.

Hurricane Polo has shocked meteorologists by turning into a Category 5 storm within 24 hours of forming. It is now the most powerful storm recorded in the eastern Pacific. Its central pressure below 900 has only been seen in nine hurricanes in 76 years.

A stockpile of fireworks stored inside a room at the Nuestra Señora de la Luz church in Temascalcingo, Mexico State, detonated during a patron saint festival mass, collapsing a wall and triggering chaos among worshippers. At least 10 people are dead and 64 injured, several of them children, with two priests among the wounded. Witnesses say people were trampled trying to flee as rescue crews worked through the night to pull survivors from the rubble. The cause of the blast is still under investigation.

Mexico's Navy rescued two fishermen who survived five days adrift in the Pacific Ocean after going missing off the coast of Chiapas. The men, aged 53 and 32, were found alive about 150 miles offshore, floating inside a cool box used to store fish. They were medically assessed before being reunited with their families.

A fisherman went missing in Mexico at a cenote, a natural sinkhole, and was found 15 days later inside an underwater cave. Erasto Crisanto Valdez was fishing with his father in July when he got lost. An international rescue team joined the search operation for the 31-year-old in San Francisco La Paz and found him inside a sinkhole. After they found a harpoon Valdez had been carrying at a depth of around 213ft, they got an idea of where to look. That led them to expand the search in that area.&nbsp;Nearly 15 days later, they found Valdez in a sinkhole at a depth of 328ft below the surface. The rescuers were shocked to see him alive inside the cave with an air pocket and described it as nothing short of a miracle. The team included explorers from Mexico, Germany, the US and the Dominican Republic. "We were prepared to find his body. But God had other plans," Mexican explorer Carlos Jimenez said.&nbsp;Valdez was brought to the surface on a stretcher where his health was assessed. He was found to be suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition and was taken to the hospital.<h2>What is a cenote?</h2> A cenote is a natural sinkhole filled with water. It is formed when limestone bedrock collapses, revealing the fresh groundwater underneath. Cenote comes from the Yucatec Maya term ts'ono'ot, meaning a sacred or deep location with water that can be accessed. They are mostly found in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.&nbsp;Humans creating a problem for cenotes Underwater sinkholes, or cenotes, are facing severe environmental threats from human activity, pollution, and rapid development in the Yucatán Peninsula. Damage to them threatens the unique ecosystems in these waters, as they directly connect to underground aquifers, providing fresh drinking water. A large amount of wastewater flows untreated directly into the porous limestone and groundwater system. Construction projects drill massive support pillars directly into underground cave roofs, which are delicate, thus threatening the structures.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ceaser Gastelum killed during TikTok livestream: What was his last recording?

Valeria Márquez, a beauty influencer who was shot dead during a TikTok livestream in 2025, fell victim to a cartel boss who ordered the killing because she had broken up with his son. The 23-year-old was inside her beauty salon in May when a gunman on a motorbike shot at her through the window. She collapsed live on video after gunshots to her chest and head. The video from the Beauty Lounge, in Zapopan, Western Mexico, went viral.&nbsp;Mexican authorities have now claimed that Ramón Ángel Álvarez Ayala - known as “El R-1” - a senior figure in the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), was behind her death. Mexican Special Forces linked him to her death following his arrest on July 26 this year after a massive raid in Zapopan. They found forensic data and encrypted phone records as evidence that he had ordered the killing on live stream.<h2>El R-1 also accused in the murder of Mayor Manzo</h2>He is also accused of ordering the assassination of a local Jalisco mayor who stood against the cartel’s extortion demands. "'El-R-1’ is identified as the main leader of ‘Los Rs’, one of the most violent criminal cells linked to the CJNG, with operations in Apatzingán, Uruapan, and Morelia, Michoacán, as well as in Jalisco,” Public Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch announced in a social media post.

A vigilante becoming popular as the "Mexican Batman" has been catching bike thieves and strapping them to street poles with tape. He draws moustaches and cat whiskers on the men, and scribbles “ratero” (thief in Spanish) across their foreheads. This is apparently how he lets people know that he was there, a calling card. The person is believed to be a local in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, where bike thefts have risen considerably, forcing the unidentified man to take things into his own hands. The police are now searching for the person trying to stop the alleged thefts.&nbsp;The vigilante leaves a description of the crimes committed by the men written on pink and yellow paper tied above them on the posts. The bikes the men had allegedly stolen were also left near them as proof. They are also beaten up by the man, with one of them found in a pretty bad state. However, the man doling out justice is being treated as the criminal and the men tied to the posts as victims, the police said.&nbsp;The first case came to light on June 13 when a young man was found tied to a post. A cardboard sign above accused him of being a thief. In the following days, more men were found similarly tied with huge amounts of tape. State Security Secretary Juan Pablo Hernández said officials have come across five such cases since then. While the police are still on the lookout for the "Mexican Batman", they have identified two vehicles that could be linked to the attacks.&nbsp;<h2>Female vigilantes in Mexico</h2>&nbsp;Meanwhile, women in the nearby state of Michocoán have also turned into vigilantes, carrying assault rifles to protect themselves from the Jalisco New Generation cartel. The group has killed several people in recent weeks, following which the women have prepared a homemade tank and roadblocks to fight the gunmen.&nbsp;

Archaeologists have found a hidden Mayan city in Mexico that has remained hidden for more than 1,000 years. The site dotted with monuments, pyramids, and palaces has been named Minanbé. It was discovered deep inside the dense jungles of Campeche, in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. This marks the end of a project in which researchers mapped the central Maya lowlands. A team of Mexican and Slovenian researchers, led by archaeologist Ivan Šprajc, found the untouched wonder after approval from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).&nbsp;The Mayan lowlands were home to nearly 11 million people during the Late Classic period (600 to 900 AD). A site west of Chactún, a major Maya centre that was revealed 13 years ago, was the site of the survey. Equipped with laser scan data from the air, known as LiDAR, the researchers set out for the northern section of the reserve. It was an arduous journey, and different methods had to be employed to make it possible. A five-kilometre path was cleared by the community of Constitución using machetes. They travelled on all-terrain vehicles before walking almost the same distance on foot as well.&nbsp;

<h2>The site was untouched, no signs of loot</h2>&nbsp;Šprajc admitted that accessing this region was harder than any other site. What surprised the researchers was that the site had not been looted, which stood in stark difference from the other discoveries made in the past three years. Ground survey was led by archaeologists Atasta Flores Esquivel, Israel Chato López, Quintín Hernández Gómez, and Vitan Vujanović. They found an urban centre spread over 15 hectares. There were plazas, terraces, palace buildings, religious structures, and wetlands with water channels.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/study-in-israel-shows-humans-stood-tall-in-front-of-climate-change-6-500-years-ago-1781959820322">Study in Israel shows humans stood tall in front of climate change 6,500 years ago</a>&nbsp;A pyramid temple was the tallest structure, which stood nearly 42 feet high, and was found in extremely good condition, a first, says Vujanović. There is also a stone monument that has legible glyphs. But they did find broken altars, with one bearing hieroglyphic text that likely dates to the late 7th century. A carved stone known as Stela 1 shows a beheading scene. Fourteen other monuments carved with symbols and hieroglyphic text were also discovered.

In the Chihuahuan Desert in northern Mexico, lies a place where radio signals are believed to die. Tourists even visit this area looking for signs of paranormal activity. The legend was further amplified when the Athena rocket, which was as large as a five-story building and weighed seven tons, crashed here in 1970. Known as the Mapimí Silent Zone (La Zona del Silencio), this area is famous for legends of electromagnetic interference and extraterrestrial activity. It is located at the intersection of Durango, Chihuahua, and Coahuila and contains unusually high levels of magnetite because of frequent meteorite activity, which is believed to be the reason for the alleged interference with radio signals. A concentrated amount of magnetite, a naturally magnetic iron ore, can interfere with radio signals. An oil company executive dubbed it the Zone of Silence in 1966 after he failed to receive any signals here. Here is why this place is also known as the "Bermuda Triangle" of Mexico.<h2>The "Scientific" Mystery</h2> The zone gained notoriety for three primary reasons: Radio Failure: As mentioned above, radio, TV, and short-wave signals fail within the zone, and compasses spin wildly.&nbsp;Meteorite Attraction: The area witnesses an unusual frequency of meteorite strikes, including the massive Allende meteorite in 1969.&nbsp;The 1970 Athena Rocket Crash: A US Air Force rocket launched from Utah veered 400 miles off course and crashed into the zone.

However, plants such as the endangered Bolson tortoise or cacti that turn purple during extreme droughts are usually just unique local adaptations.&nbsp;Fabricated Myth: Much of the "mystery" was reportedly amplified in the 1970s by a local resident named Jamie and others who came up with these stories to promote tourism.&nbsp;Tourists continue to flock to the region in hopes of witnessing paranormal activities, signals vanish and see the compass needle go crazy.
