Hurricane Trudy weakens off Mexico's Pacific coast; cleanup begins

Hurricane Trudy has weakened significantly as it moves away from Mexico's Pacific coast, prompting meteorological authorities to discontinue all active storm warnings in the affected areas. The decision to lift warnings came as the system lost strength while tracking offshore, reducing immediate threats to coastal communities.

Residents across southwestern Mexico, west-central states, and Baja California Sur have been advised to maintain heightened awareness despite the improved conditions. Authorities cautioned that residual impacts from the system remain possible and urged preparedness measures to continue.

Cleanup and recovery operations are now underway in regions that experienced the storm's effects. Local officials are assessing damage to infrastructure and coordinating assistance for affected communities as the weather situation stabilises.

The National Meteorological Service continues to monitor the system's trajectory as it moves further into the Pacific Ocean, though no additional threats to populated areas are anticipated at this time.
