Hurricane Barbara has formed in the Pacific as the first hurricane in 2025. The National Hurricane Center is also tracking Tropical Storm Cosme.

Hurricane Barbara becomes first hurricane of East Pacific season as NHC also keeps watch on Tropical Storm Cosme. A third system is forecast to become a tropical depression later this week or over the weekend. While all remains quiet in the tropical Atlantic basin, that's not the case in the eastern Pacific.

“ Barbara ” & “ Cosme ” have formed over the East Pacific off the SW Mexico coast. No significant impacts to any land areas though there will be rough seas & surf along the west coast of Mexico with a high rip current risk along with some of the very outer rain bands from Barbara producing heavy rain right along the coast.
