Tropical Cyclone Alvin Threatens Mexico: Coastal Residents Urged to Prepare

Tropical Cyclone Alvin Threatens Mexico: Authorities Urge Coastal Residents to Prepare Mexico City, May 22, 2025 – A low-pressure system brewing south of Mexico's Pacific coast poses a growing threat. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) and the National Water Commission (Conagua) are closely monitoring the system, which has a 20% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next seven days. If it intensifies, the storm will be named Alvin. "The potential for Alvin to become a hurricane is real," stated a Conagua spokesperson, "and we are urging residents in the coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca to prepare for the possibility of strong winds and heavy rainfall." The video shows footage of the ocean and coastal areas, highlighting the potential impact of the storm. While the development of Alvin is still uncertain, the SMN has already predicted 16 to 20 tropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean this year, with 4 to 6 potentially reaching major hurricane status (Category 3 or higher). The early formation of this potential cyclone marks the beginning of what is anticipated to be a more active hurricane season than usual. Authorities emphasize the importance of staying informed through official channels and taking necessary precautions to ensure safety.
