On Thursday, as two independent storms churned over the Pacific, residents along Mexico's western coast piled up sandbags to fortify beachfront businesses and were compelled to evacuate their homes.

木曜日、太平洋上で二つの独立した嵐が渦を巻く中、メキシコ西海岸沿いの住民たちは土嚢を積み上げて海辺の店舗を堅牢化し、自宅からの避難を余儀なくされた。

Meanwhile, Hawaii's Big Island and Maui were bracing for a situation that could precipitate catastrophic flooding.

他方、ハワイのビッグアイランドとマウイは、壊滅的な洪水の惹起し得る事態に備えていた。

According to a statement issued by the US National Hurricane Center, the torrential downpours accompanying the powerful Hurricane Polo may trigger life-threatening flooding and landslides across Mexico.

米国国立ハリケーンセンターの発表によれば、勢力の強いハリケーン「ポロ」に伴う豪雨は、メキシコにおいて生命を脅かす洪水や地滑りを惹起する恐れがある。

In Lázaro Cárdenas and other affected areas, seawater surged into homes on Thursday, leaving wooden planks and furniture strewn across the streets.

ラサロ・カルデナス港をはじめとする地域では、木曜日に海水が家屋に押し寄せ、木の板や家具が通りに散乱する事態となった。

Polo has continued to oscillate between the two extremes of Category 4 and Category 5, both of which constitute major-hurricane intensity.

ポロは、大型ハリケーンの強度を有するカテゴリー4と5の両極を往還し続けている。

It had been forecast that the strongest winds would remain over the sea until the storm's center grazed the coastline and moved back out offshore.

嵐の中心が海岸を掠めて沖合へと抜けるまで、最強級の風は海上にとどまると予測されていた。

Far off the southern tip of the Big Island, Tropical Depression Nolo is steadily intensifying, and forecasters anticipate that hurricane-force conditions will bear down on the state by Friday night.

ハワイ島南端のはるか沖合において、熱帯低気圧「ノロ」がその勢力を増強させつつあり、予報官らは金曜夜にはハリケーン相当の気象条件が同州を襲うと予測している。

On these islands, where recovery from a succession of storms remains a work in progress, rainfall could exceed two feet (60 centimeters).

一連の暴風雨からの復興がいまだ途上にあるこれらの島々では、降雨量が2フィート(60センチ)を超える恐れがある。

Schools have been shuttered for the entire week.

学校は今週いっぱい閉鎖されている。

This succession of hurricanes is occurring under circumstances in which the meteorological phenomenon El Niño is giving rise to far-reaching environmental upheaval across the globe, fostering drought in some regions and flooding in others.

この一連のハリケーンは、気象現象エルニーニョが世界各地で広範にわたる環境変動を惹起し、ある地域においては干ばつを、また別の地域においては洪水を助長するという状況下で発生している。

El Niño has traditionally tended to attenuate the Atlantic hurricane season while, by bringing with it moist air and weak wind shear, invigorating tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific.

エルニーニョは、伝統的に大西洋のハリケーンシーズンを減衰させる一方で、湿潤な空気と微弱なウィンドシアを伴い、太平洋における熱帯低気圧活動を活発化させる傾向を有する。

Mexican authorities have been opening shelters and moving people away from the coast, while coastal residents were striving to prevent their businesses from being swept away.

メキシコ当局は避難所を開設し、人々を海岸から退避させており、沿岸住民は事業が流されるのを防ごうとしていた。

People in high-risk areas had been evacuated.

高リスク地域の人々は避難させられていた。

Many of the concerns harboured by local residents stemmed from the hurricanes that have ravaged cities along the Pacific coast over the past few years.

地元住民が抱く懸念の多くは、ここ数年にわたり太平洋岸の諸都市を蹂躙してきたハリケーンに端を発するものであった。

In 2023, Hurricane Otis plunged Acapulco into weeks of chaos in a manner no one had anticipated.

2023年のハリケーン「オティス」は、アカプルコを予期せぬ形で数週間にわたる混沌へと陥れたのである。

"Many declared it could never happen, and then it came to pass.

「多くの者が起こり得ぬと断じ、しかる後にそれは現出した。

Afterwards, you find yourself engulfed in a maelstrom of anxiety," said Gonzalo Ramírez, a bartender in the city.

その後、あなたは不安の渦中に置かれる」と、市内のバーテンダー、ゴンサロ・ラミレスは語った。

According to the Hurricane Center's report, the state of Guerrero stood out as being at a particularly elevated risk of flooding and landslides.

ハリケーンセンターの報告によれば、ゲレロ州は殊に洪水および土砂崩れの危険性が際立って高かった。

Wind speeds comparable to those of a tropical depression reached as much as 125 miles (205 kilometers) from the eye of the storm.

熱帯低気圧に匹敵する風速は、嵐の目から最大125マイル(205キロ)に及んだ。

After moving away from land, Polo was forecast to continue northward toward the Mexican coast through Saturday.

陸地から遠ざかった後、ポロは土曜日にかけてメキシコ沿岸へ向けてさらに北上すると予測された。

The hurricane posed a threat of the highest order to the mountainous rural coastal stretches of Michoacán and Guerrero, where small resort towns and ports lie scattered.

ハリケーンは、小規模な観光都市や港湾が点在するミチョアカン州およびゲレロ州の山がちな田園海岸部に、最大級の脅威をもたらした。

Poverty is conspicuous throughout much of this region, and residents have persistently voiced their discontent at being left to fend for themselves whenever a natural disaster strikes.

この地域の大半において貧困が顕著であり、住民は、自然災害発生時には自力で対処せざるを得ない状況に常々不満を訴えている。

Mexican authorities, having deployed 15,000 security personnel across the entire coastal region, went so far as to close schools as a precautionary measure.

メキシコ当局は沿岸全域に15,000人の治安要員を配備するに及んで、予防措置として学校を休校とするに至った。

The authorities did not immediately disclose how many people had been evacuated.

当局は、何人が避難したかを直ちには明らかにしなかった。

Forecasters stated that Tropical Depression Nolo has the potential to intensify into a major hurricane, that it could unleash as much as 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain upon the Big Island, and that rainfall totals are expected to mount further through Saturday.

予報官は、熱帯低気圧「ノロ」が大型ハリケーンへと発達する可能性を有し、ビッグアイランドに20インチ(50センチ)もの降雨をもたらす恐れがあり、土曜日にかけてさらに降水量が増大する見込みであると述べた。

According to a statement from the Hurricane Center, Maui may likewise be beset by life-threatening flooding and landslides.

ハリケーンセンターの発表によれば、マウイ島もまた、生命を脅かす洪水および土砂崩れに苛まれる恐れがある。

While strong winds are anticipated, the principal concern is flash flooding, John Bravender, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service, stated at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

強風が予想される一方、主たる懸念事項は鉄砲水であると、気象局の警報調整気象学者ジョン・ブラベンダーは水曜日午後の記者会見において述べた。

The torrential rains lashing the Big Island threaten to affect precisely the same southeastern region that suffered devastating damage from Hurricane Lala in August.

ビッグアイランドに降り注ぐ豪雨は、8月にハリケーン「ララ」によって甚大な被害を被った、まさにその南東部地域に影響を及ぼす恐れがある。

"Even on its own, it harbours the potential to trigger catastrophic flooding, but should it fall upon ground already saturated by rain that has persisted intermittently over the past several months… such rainfall could inflict even more devastating damage," Brabender remarked.

「それ単独であっても壊滅的な洪水を惹起する可能性を孕んでいるが、それが過去数ヶ月間にわたり断続的に降り続いてきた雨によって飽和した地盤の上に重なるとすれば…その降雨は一層甚大な被害をもたらす可能性がある」とブラベンダーは述べた。

Hawaiian authorities instructed residents to assemble emergency kits, and the state governor went so far as to issue a state of emergency and mobilize more than 230 members of the Hawaii National Guard.

ハワイ当局は住民に対し緊急用キットをまとめるよう指示を下し、州知事は緊急事態宣言を発令するとともに、230名を超えるハワイ州兵を動員するに至った。

Hawaiian Electric, the state's principal power utility, stated that crews that had been assisting with power restoration on Kauai in the wake of this month's Hurricane Lowell were returning to Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island to prepare for the approaching storm.

州の主要電力会社であるハワイアン・エレクトリックは、今月のハリケーン「ローウェル」通過後におけるカウアイ島の電力復旧を支援していたクルーが、来たる嵐への備えのため、オアフ島、マウイ島、ビッグアイランドへと戻ると述べた。

According to an announcement by the US National Hurricane Center, Tropical Depression Fay re-formed in the North Atlantic early Thursday morning, at which point it was situated approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) west-southwest of the Azores.

米国ハリケーンセンターの発表によれば、北大西洋において熱帯低気圧「フェイ」が木曜日未明に再形成され、その時点でアゾレス諸島の西南西約1,000マイル(1,600キロ)に位置していた。

In the Pacific, Hurricane Odalis had established its center at a point approximately 1,110 miles (1,785 kilometers) west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.

太平洋において、ハリケーン「オダリス」は、メキシコのバハカリフォルニア半島南端の西南西およそ1,110マイル(1,785キロ)の地点に、その中心を据えていたのである。
