Hurricane John Resurrects in Mexico

MEXICO - John officially made landfall as a category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph on September 23, 2024. This happened near the city of Marquelia, Mexico along the southern coast of Mexico. Pressure was as low as 959 mb.

As John interacted with the difficult topography of southern Mexico it became a remnant low earlier this week. Since then, John has meandered back into the open waters of the Pacific, restrengthened and is now back to tropical storm status.

Forecasted rainfall totals could reach 6-12" with isolated totals near 15" across the coast and 10-20" with isolated totals near 30" near the Oaxaca coast to southeast Guerrero.
