Hurricanes only affect extreme Southern California, and then rarely. The peninsula of Baja California, part of Mexico, experiences storms that form along the coast of Central America, in warm tropical waters. Some storms are created by Caribbean hurricanes that struggle across the mountainous terrain and reform in the Pacific. These storms follow the warm currents along the Mexican coast, and sometimes turn east and make landfall there. Other storms continue out into the Pacific toward Hawaii.
