The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) has just released the latest announcement about Hurricane Gilma in the Pacific Ocean.
Hurricane Gilma is currently identified as a strong category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale, with maximum sustained winds of up to 205 km/h.
The storm's center is currently located at coordinates 17.0 degrees North latitude; 125.0 degrees West longitude, about 1,705 km southwest of the southern tip of Baja California and about 3,185 km east of Hilo, Hawaii.
The storm is moving slowly west-northwest at a speed of 11 km/h.
NHC meteorological experts predict Gilma will continue moving in its current direction over the next few days. The storm's intensity is expected to change little before starting to weaken later this week.
Currently, no watches or warnings have been issued for coastal areas. However, NHC will continue to closely monitor the developments of this storm.
Although Hurricane Gilma currently poses no direct threat to the mainland, residents and visitors in Pacific coastal areas should still monitor weather updates and follow all directions. References from local authorities.
