Did Category 3 Hurricane Polo slam Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on September 28, 2026?

Yes. On September 28, 2026, Category 3 Hurricane Polo bore down on Mexico’s Baja California Sur coast, cutting power and flooding streets in Puerto San Carlos as the sea breached coastal defenses.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center reported sustained winds of about 185 km/h (115 mph) and warned of life-threatening winds and flash flooding. Mexico opened shelters across the state and deployed nearly 7,000 troops as the storm was forecast to hit the peninsula and later lash mainland Mexico.
