A new tropical storm has formed in the Pacific Ocean, potentially bringing dangerous winds, rain and floods as it rolls up the West Coast. The 13th named storm of the Pacific hurricane season has been dubbed Mario, and was called a 'mini' tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Friday. The storm currently has sustained winds of approximately 40 mph and is expected to impact southern Mexico through the weekend before moving further up the coast, closer to the US border.

A yellow heat health alert has been issued across parts of the UK, with temperatures expected to exceed 30C, prompting health warnings for vulnerable populations.

Meteorologists have warned that a surge in tropical moisture could set off dangerous flash floods all the way from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley, impacting residents in parts of 11 states from now through this weekend.

A hurricane warning was issued for a portion of southern Mexico due to Tropical Storm Erick, which is expected to rapidly intensify and reach hurricane status.
