Henriette Strengthens Into Hurricane

Henriette was upgraded to a hurricane overnight as winds strengthened to 75mph (120km/h) and is expected to make landfall on the Lower Baja Peninsula later today an area that is packed with holiday resorts.

The Mexican Government has issued a hurricane warning for the southern Baja Peninsula from Loreto southwards on the east coast, and from Bahia Magdalena southwards on the west coast, including Cabo San Lucas.

It is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain, up to 125mm of rain across some of the Mexican coast and as much as 300mm along parts of the Baja Peninsula.

It has been said that over the next few days as Henriette moves inland it is expected to weaken.
