Aletta becomes first hurricane of east Pacific season
by Staff Writers
Miami (AFP) June 8, 2018

The Aletta storm off southern Mexico on Thursday became the first hurricane of the east Pacific season, but it is not a threat to the coast, US meteorologists said.

Aletta, which formed Wednesday as a tropical storm, escalated to a category one hurricane -- on a scale of five -- when it reached maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour (120 kilometers per hour), according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center.

Its gusts are blowing out at sea around 455 miles southeast of Manzanillo -- a port city Mexico's western Colima state -- with its eye moving northwest at six miles per hour.

It is expected to gain strength over the next two days before weakening by Saturday.

Hurricane-strength winds extended 25 miles from the eye of the storm, with tropical storm winds reaching 90 miles away.

Authorities have not released coastal watches or warnings on land.

Hurricanes are slowing down, causing more damage in coastal communities
Washington DC (SPX) Jun 06, 2018
A scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has found a link between global warming and the speed of hurricanes. According to the research of climatologist James Kossin, the rise in global temperatures is leading to a slowdown in the speed of hurricanes and typhoons, allowing them to linger atop coastal communities and inflict more damage. "Nothing good can come of a slower storm," Kossin told Mashable. "It's safe to say you want them [hurricanes] to get out of you ... read more
