Hurricane update - 22 October

Tropical storm Paul is set to pass close by or over Baja California early in the week; it is likely to be a very borderline category 1 hurricane. Still, the rain and the strong winds may cause disruption in Baja and fronting coastal areas of Mexico. As stated yesterday, the moisture carried by Paul may affect southern and western Texas late in the week.

Tropical cyclone Xavier has turned up in the Solomon Islands, as the first tropical storm of the southern hemisphere season. This system does not look likely to affect land at this stage, although Xavier is still intensifying as it moves west, later southwest.
