Mexico's Pacific Coast Faces New Downpour Threat after Hurricane John

Mexico's Pacific coast is bracing for more heavy rainfall as the U.S. National Hurricane Center predicts a new storm to hit the region. Following last week's deadly Hurricane John, the new storm could bring additional flooding and mudslides from Guerrero to western Guatemala.

Mexico's Pacific coast is set to experience more heavy rain on Wednesday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC). This follows last week's downpour from Hurricane John, which caused deadly mudslides and flooding.

The new storm system, currently a tropical depression named Eleven-E, is expected to become a tropical storm before making landfall. The storm could bring significant rainfall and potentially dangerous conditions from Guerrero, Mexico, to western Guatemala, the NHC warned.

As the storm inches southwest, it is predicted to turn northwest by Wednesday evening, with the center likely reaching the coast by Thursday night. Rainfall of 4 to 12 inches is expected through Friday, exacerbating issues in already affected areas. President Claudia Sheinbaum will visit Acapulco to oversee recovery efforts. Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado urged residents to remain vigilant.
