Description:
Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the North Atlantic hurricane season, has caused three fatalities in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, with at least two of the victims being minors. The storm has brought heavy rain and high winds to the Mexican seacoast and southern Texas, leading to flooding and the potential for mudslides. The US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) has issued a warning for life-threatening flooding, and the storm is expected to make landfall in Mexico before dissipating without directly striking the US. The Nuevo León state governor has suspended public transportation, and schools in neighboring Tamaulipas have been closed due to the storm.<br/>In Texas, significant rainfall has led to evacuations in some areas, and Governor Greg Abbott has issued a disaster declaration due to the risk of severe property damage, injury, and loss of life. The Atlantic hurricane season, which typically runs from June to November, is expected to be more active than usual, with potentially seven major hurricanes, partly due to record-high ocean surface temperatures and shifts in regional rainfall patterns. While climate change is not proven to increase the number of hurricanes, it is believed to make the most intense ones more likely and to bring heavier rainfall.<br/>As the storm continues to impact the region, much of the continent is experiencing extreme heat, with over 86 million Americans living in areas under heat advisories.
