Pacific Ocean storm, Tropical Storm Carlotta, gains strength; distances itself from Mexico coastline
Tropical Storm Carlotta is currently growing stronger over the Pacific Ocean, according to the latest reports. The storm, which is centred about 510 miles (820 kilometers) west of Manzanilla, Mexico, is generating winds with gusts of between 40 and 60 kilometers per hour. Swells generated by Tropical Storm Carlotta will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the weekend.
Authorities of the National Civil Protection System have asked the population to take extreme precautions due to heavy rains, strong winds, and high waves. Tropical Storm Carlotta is expected to bring rains to western coastal states, from Jalisco to Baja California Sur.
As Carlotta strengthens, it is moving away from Mexico, but it is not far from Mexico's Pacific coast. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Carlotta is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday night or Friday.
In other news, Tropical Depression Julio is forming in the Atlantic. The exact location of Tropical Depression Julio relative to the centers of Hurricane Douglas and Depression 8 is not specified in the article.
Hurricane Gonzalo is located in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and Hurricane Douglas is currently moving away from Hawaii.
It is worth noting that as of August 28, 2025, there is no information in the search results specifically about a "Tropical Storm Carlotta" strengthening or its current status, expected path, wind speeds, or impact on western Mexican coastal states. The recent and named storms mentioned in 2025 related to Mexico include Hurricane Erick (June 2025) and Tropical Storm Fernando, but neither aligns with the details requested about Carlotta.
For the most accurate and up-to-date forecast including wind speeds, expected trajectories, and potential impacts on western Mexican coastal states, consulting official sources such as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) or Mexico's Servicio Meteorológico Nacional would be recommended.
