According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Bud has formed in the North Pacific Ocean with winds of up to 40 miles per hour. Bud is the second named storm in the eastern Pacific in 2024 behind typical westward moving storms.
Characteristics of the storm:
The bud is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain, especially if it approaches the coast before moving out to sea. Satellite images show the intensity, size and structure of the storm, and a clear eye indicates a severe storm.
Weather conditions and impact:
At times, atmospheric conditions can push storms like Bud north, potentially affecting areas like Baja California and western Mexico. This happened last year during Hurricane Hillary, which brought severe weather to Southern California.
Seasonal forecast:
The eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15 and will continue until November 30. La Niña conditions, which increase wind shear, can inhibit storm formation in the Pacific Ocean while increasing activity in the Atlantic.
Stay informed and safe:
Monitor extreme weather risks with customized alerts and be prepared for potential consequences. The National Hurricane Center provides regular updates and forecasts.
