Towns along Mexico’s Pacific coast are bracing for powerful Hurricane Roslyn, amid warnings that it could bring dangerous storm surges and flooding.
Local emergency services have been making last-minute preparations.
Roslyn is expected to make landfall on Sunday morning in the western Nayarit state, home to popular beach resorts.
The storm is packing winds up to 12 metres per hour which is about 205 kilometre per hour (205km/h), but has been downgraded from Category 4 to Category 3 by the US National Hurricane Center.
The authorities in Nayarit, Jalisco and several other states have been setting up shelters.
The hurricane season in Mexico usually lasts from June to November, affecting both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the country.
In May, 11 people were killed after Hurricane Agatha struck south-western Oaxaca state.
