In some parts of Mexico's southwest coast, there was a big wave and this phenomenon is likely to spread to Baja California and the Gulf of California in the South as the storm continues to move to the Northwest.

Mexico's weather information said that on August 23, heavy rains landed in six Mexican states including Michoacan, Colima, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Jalisco and Nayarit, threatening to cause landslides and floods overflowing at the river.

The government recommends that people in these areas implement safety measures and track storm updates.

Meanwhile, in central Bahamas, tropical storm Cristobal is moving with winds of over 72km / h but is unlikely to become a major storm.

Information from the NHC said the storm is 300km east-east of Inagua Island, Cristobal storm is moving at 13 km / hour and is likely to continue to grow in the next three days.

However, the storm now moving east of Central Bahamas on August 25 will then head out to the Atlantic Ocean to the northeast before weakening and disappearing.

During the last two days, Typhoon Cristobal brought heavy rains into Central and Southeastern Bahamas, as well as part of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
