Mexico has been battered this hurricane season by a cavalcade of storms bringing flooding rains and destructive winds across numerous parts of the country. This weekend saw the arrival of another such weather system.

Tropical Storm Trudy formed around 90 miles off of Mexico's Pacific coast on Friday, and made landfall Saturday morning about 78 miles southeast of Acapulco.

Nearly 2500 people were evacuated and at least six people were killed as the tropical storm - since downgraded to a tropical depression - lashed the state of Guerrero. Some 16 communities are cut off due to massive flooding and mudslides, according to authorities.

At the point of impact Trudy had sustained winds of around 62 mph within just two days of development. A final warning was issued for the system on Sunday, however, remnants of the storm will continue to bring torrential rain to parts of southern Mexico.

There is the possibility for more evacuations as Trudy's remnants will produce as much as 6 to 12 inches of rain - with isolated areas receiving 20 inches - over portions of Mexico's Pacific coast, including the Acapulco area. This will lead to life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in hilly and mountainous areas.

This year’s Pacific hurricane season has been the most active since 1992 with 21 named storms, 15 hurricanes and 9 of which became major hurricanes (Category 3 or above on the Saffir-Simpson scale.)

In an average season there will be around 16 named storms, 9 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. With six weeks left to run, there is still a chance of even more storms before the season ends on November 30th.
