What's happening now
Marie was last recorded as a tropical storm at 16.8°N, 111.3°W over open water with nothing near it, moving on a bearing of 301° at 14 km/h. The final reading was at 12:00 UTC on 2 September 2026, before Marie left the feed. Sustained winds were 111 km/h, with gusts of 128 km/h, and pressure at the storm’s centre was 992 mb. Marie’s strongest recorded wind was 111 km/h at that same time, so the storm’s highest recorded classification was tropical storm. The final readings showed Marie strengthening from 102 km/h to 111 km/h while pressure fell from 994 mb to 992 mb between 06:00 and 12:00 UTC. No later position is known because the storm has ended and will not be updated.

How Marie developed
29 August — Forms as a tropical depression
The first reading identifies Marie as a tropical depression at 10.4°N, 105.3°W, with 37 km/h winds and 43 km/h gusts. Marie was stationary at that observation. No pressure reading is available for the first point, so the starting pressure is not known.
30 August — Depression strengthens and shifts direction
Marie’s winds rose from 37 km/h to 56 km/h during 30 August, while gusts reached 64 km/h. Pressure readings were 1,008 mb early in the day and 1,010 mb later. Movement varied from west to north-west, including two stationary readings, before Marie moved north-west at 5 km/h.
31 August — Holds depression strength while moving west
Marie remained a tropical depression through 31 August with 56 km/h winds and 64 km/h gusts. Pressure fell to 1,007 mb and later 1,006 mb. Marie’s movement was generally westward, with speeds between 5 km/h and 11 km/h, although the heading shifted north-west late in the day.
1 September — Strengthens into a tropical storm
Marie became a tropical storm on 1 September when winds reached 74 km/h and gusts reached 85 km/h. Pressure fell from 1,006 mb to 1,002 mb. Later readings showed winds of 93 km/h and pressure of 997 mb as Marie moved generally north-west at speeds up to 17 km/h.
2 September — Reaches its strongest recorded wind
Marie reached its strongest recorded wind of 111 km/h on 2 September at 12:00 UTC, with gusts of 128 km/h and pressure of 992 mb. The latest two readings show wind increasing from 102 km/h to 111 km/h while pressure remained below the earlier values. Marie was moving west-north-west at 14 km/h.
How Marie is behaving
Marie’s readings show a long period of gradual strengthening followed by a faster increase on 1 and 2 September. Wind rose from 37 km/h at formation to 111 km/h at the latest observation, while the lowest recorded pressure reached 992 mb. Central pressure is the air pressure near a storm’s centre; a falling value often accompanies a more organised tropical cyclone, and Marie’s pressure generally fell after the early 1,010 mb readings.
Marie’s motion was uneven at first, including stationary readings and speeds as low as 5 km/h. The track became faster on 1 September, reaching 17 km/h, before the latest speed eased to 14 km/h. The headings show a broad shift from westward movement to north-west and then west-north-west movement. The readings support strengthening, but they do not provide information about wind shear, moisture or sea surface temperature.
How to track Marie
Open the RainViewer app on Google Play or the App Store and turn on the tropical storm tracks layer to follow Marie’s recorded position. Each track point represents Marie at a particular observation time, so compare the points with their timestamps rather than treating the line as a forecast. The latest point places Marie over open water in the eastern Pacific, with no nearby named place in the readings.
Read the track-point colours as Marie’s classification at each recorded moment: cyan for tropical depression, blue for tropical storm, yellow for category 1, amber for category 2, orange for category 3, red for category 4 and dark red for category 5. Marie’s history moves from cyan depression points to blue tropical storm points. Set an alert for your area in the RainViewer app to receive the app’s available weather notifications.
How Marie compares with past eastern Pacific storms
Marie formed near the end of August, within the eastern Pacific season, when tropical cyclones commonly develop over warm tropical waters and can organise as thunderstorms gather around a rotating circulation. The readings show Marie beginning as a depression, holding that classification for several days, and then strengthening into a tropical storm on 1 September. The observation history does not identify the environmental conditions that supported formation or strengthening.
Hurricane Marie in 2020 reached category 4 before weakening later in its life cycle. Hurricane Genevieve in 2020 also reached category 4, while Hurricane Olaf in 2021 reached category 2. These storms show that eastern Pacific systems can reach substantially different peak classifications during the same broad season, but their past records do not determine Marie’s current classification or future movement.
Storm FAQ
Why are tropical cyclones given names?
Weather services assign names so people and forecasters can distinguish one tropical cyclone from another in spoken and written communication. Marie is the name assigned to this 2026 eastern Pacific storm.
What is the difference between Marie’s wind speed and gust speed?
Marie’s wind speed is the recorded sustained wind value, while the gust speed is the stronger brief wind value recorded alongside it. The latest reading lists 111 km/h winds and gusts of 128 km/h.
Why did Marie have stationary readings?
A stationary reading means the recorded movement was 0 km/h at that observation time. Marie had stationary readings early in its history before later readings recorded westward and north-westward movement.
What does Marie’s 992 mb pressure measure?
The 992 mb value measures atmospheric pressure near Marie’s centre at the latest observation. It is the lowest pressure recorded in the readings provided for Marie.
