MX · Published Jul 28, 2026
Major Hurricane Genevieve, briefly a Category 5 storm, is currently active in the Pacific Ocean with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (233 km/h).
As of Monday evening, its center was located approximately 505 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving northwest at 12 mph (19 km/h).

Impact & Risks

Hurricane Genevieve is generating swells that could lead to life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along Mexico's southwestern coast and Baja California peninsula. Tropical Storm Fausto is increasing surf and strong currents along Hawaii's east-facing shores, posing risks to swimmers and beachgoers. While Fausto is expected to pass north of Hawaii, residents are advised to monitor its progress for potential impacts. Both storms highlight the need for caution in affected coastal areas.
