When is hurricane season in Mexico?
Mexico has two hurricane seasons. The Atlantic season, for the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean coast, runs from 1 June to 30 November. The eastern Pacific season, for the Pacific coast, runs from 15 May to 30 November, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A hurricane starts as a cluster of thunderstorms over warm ocean water. Warm, moist air rises from the sea surface. The air pressure near the surface drops, and more air flows in. The rotation of the Earth makes this air spin, anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Weak winds high in the atmosphere let the system organise. A system with a closed circulation is called a tropical depression. It becomes a tropical storm when its winds strengthen, and the National Hurricane Center gives it a name. It becomes a hurricane when its winds reach hurricane strength.
Sea temperatures around Mexico are highest in late summer. This is the time of the most storm activity. Storms often form in the warm water off the south-west coast of Mexico and move west or north-west. Atlantic storms reach the Yucatán Peninsula and the Gulf coast. Pacific storms approach the west coast and the Baja California Peninsula. Pacific storms and Atlantic storms follow different tracks and have different season dates.

FAQ
Where can I see current hurricanes near Mexico?
The hurricane tracker map on this RainViewer page shows current storm tracks near Mexico, and the list under the map names each active storm near Mexico. When no storm is active, the list says so and links to storms in other regions. Past storms near Mexico are listed further down the page.
When is hurricane season in Mexico, and which months are busiest?
Mexico has an Atlantic season from 1 June to 30 November and an eastern Pacific season from 15 May to 30 November, according to the National Hurricane Center. In the Atlantic, most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, and 10 September is the climatological peak. Atlantic storms reach the Yucatán Peninsula and the Gulf coast. Pacific storms approach the west coast and the Baja California Peninsula.
Which official source issues hurricane warnings for Mexico?
Mexico’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional publishes the official weather warnings for Mexico, and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) publishes forecasts and advisories for every active storm in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins. RainViewer shows storm tracks on a map and does not replace official warnings. The NHC is the source for official basin forecasts.
What does the forecast cone show on the Mexico map?
The forecast cone on the RainViewer map shows the probable track of the centre of a storm during the forecast period. The cone does not show how far wind, rain, or storm surge reach from the centre, so areas outside the cone can still have storm effects. The cone is part of the Storm Tracks layer, together with the current position, the past path, and the forecast path.
Where can I see rain radar for Mexico?
RainViewer shows rain radar for Mexico, and the Mexico weather radar page lists radar coverage and links to city radar pages. RainViewer updates radar every 5 minutes. Radar shows rain inside a storm. The Storm Tracks layer shows where the storm is moving.
