Mexico SMN: Storm Simón and Hurricane Trudy unlikely to merge; October cyclone activity high

Mexico's National Meteorological Service (SMN) addressed speculation about a possible merger of storm Simón and hurricane Trudy off the coast of Mexico. The SMN noted that October statistically has intense cyclonic activity in the Baja California Sur area, but did not confirm a merger. The uncertainty lies in the exact tracks and intensity of both systems; the significance is regional weather impact rather than global market effect.
