The 2025 Hurricane season has started earlier than usual this year, with four named storms off the eastern Pacific coast. These four storms, Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, and Dalila, were smaller and quickly spun off the western side of Mexico. The fifth named storm, Erick, is expected to reach category three by Thursday and make landfall east of Acapulco on Thursday morning.

• Hurricane Erick will be the first major hurricane of the 2025 season
  • The storm’s impact on produce-growing regions will be minimal, and it is expected to dissipate quickly once it reaches the higher elevations of Guerrero in Mexico
  • As the storm moves northward through Mexico, it could bring much-needed rainfall to Western Mexico, which has experienced drought conditions over the past couple of years
• Forecasters predict that the 2025 hurricane season will be active, with the potential for 13 to 18 storms this year
• The warm water abundance in the Gulf and Caribbean is expected to continue this year, potentially elevating storms to hurricane status
• Markon will continue to monitor and report on hurricane activity and any effect it may have on global supplies and markets
