Hurricane Flossie is a fast-developing tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean that is intensifying into a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. As it gains strength, it is expected to contribute to torrential rains across western Mexico, particularly in states like Jalisco. The storm is part of a growing trend of more frequent and intense weather events tied to climate change, with forecasters warning of heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential flooding in coastal areas like Puerto Vallarta.
