Hurricane Cristina has formed off Mexico's Pacific coast.

The hurricane's maximum sustained winds early Wednesday were near 75mph (120kph) and the US national hurricane center said it was expected to strengthen during the next two days.

Cristina is centered about 265 miles (425 kilometers) south of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is moving west near 6mph (9kph).

The hurricane center says swells generated by Cristina are affecting parts of Mexico's south central and south-western coast. The swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
