Civil Protection and Fire Department Closely Monitors Tropical Storm John

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco – September 27, 2024 – The Civil Protection and Fire Department continues to monitor Tropical Storm ‘John,’ reassuring the public that there is no immediate threat of cyclonic effects in the region. Authorities report that the system is weakening as it interacts with the terrain, reducing its potential danger.

As of Friday afternoon, September 27, the cyclone’s central zone meandered slowly along the coast, though in recent hours it has veered slightly towards land along the coasts of Michoacán, staying consistent with meteorological forecasts.

At 3:00 PM local time, the cyclone was located approximately 100 kilometers east-southeast of Manzanillo, Colima, with sustained winds of 55 km/h and moving at a speed of 7 km/h. The rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre del Sur has caused the system to weaken, particularly at lower levels, disrupting its wind circulation and reducing its overall strength. As a result, the cyclone has diminished into remnants, moving along the coastlines of Colima.

However, authorities warn that remnants of the storm will continue to affect the region. On Saturday, September 28, parts of these remnants will re-enter the sea along the Jalisco coast, while others will likely generate rain and showers in coastal areas of Colima and Jalisco. This may lead to increased river and stream levels, particularly in mountainous areas. Additionally, coastal regions could experience periods of rough seas, with sudden high waves possible.

Despite these residual effects, officials emphasize that the system no longer poses a direct threat as a tropical cyclone. Normal summer weather conditions are expected throughout the weekend. Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas will experience a mix of clouds and sunshine during the first half of the day, with increasing cloud cover in the afternoon, potentially bringing local showers and light, scattered rainfall.

The Civil Protection and Fire Department stresses that while the risk of cyclonic impact is no longer present, they will continue to monitor the remnants of the system closely. Citizens are advised to remain informed through official channels and heed any safety instructions provided by local authorities, particularly in areas prone to flooding or along coastal zones that may experience rough seas.

As a reminder, this weather system is part of the annual tropical cyclone season, and residents are encouraged to stay prepared and updated on further developments. The authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintaining the safety of the region’s residents and tourists, ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken.

The remnants of Tropical Storm ‘John’ serve as a reminder of the importance of local preparedness during hurricane season, particularly in regions like Puerto Vallarta that, while not currently under threat, could face rapid weather changes.

Local authorities, including the Civil Protection and Fire Department, are urging residents and visitors to keep an eye on the weather and prepare for any significant rain or sudden changes in sea conditions over the weekend. They remind everyone to avoid dangerous areas near swollen rivers and coastal zones where the waves may increase unexpectedly.

For now, Puerto Vallarta and its surroundings are safe from any serious impacts from the remnants of Tropical Storm ‘John.’ The Civil Protection and Fire Department will continue its surveillance, prepared to issue further updates if necessary.
