As the hurricane season draws to a close, Hurricane Richard is approaching the coasts of Belize and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. For its latest position and predicted path, see Mexico’s National Meteorological Service website. [After the event, hurricane information is stored in the same site’s Historical Hurricane Archive.]
Hurricane Richard is predicted to lose strength (and be downgraded to a Tropical Storm) as it crosses the Yucatán Peninsula. Even so, it will bring more heavy rains to eastern Mexico, an area still struggling to cope with the aftermath of torrential downpours earlier in the summer.
