Miami (AFP) June 21, 2010 Hurricane Celia, the first of the 2010 Pacific season, gained strength Monday off the southeastern Mexican coast, the US-based National Hurricane Center said. Packing winds of 90 miles (150 kilometers) per hour) and higher gusts, Celia was centered some 515 miles (830 km) off Manzanillo, Mexico at 2100 GMT. However, Celia was located so far off land, that "there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect," the NHC said in a hurricane advisory.

The other major storm to strike the Pacific so far this season was Tropical Storm Agatha, which slammed into Guatemala in May, unleashing heavy rains and floods that left some 275 people dead or missing across Central America.
