LA PAZ: Hurricane Newton swirled toward Mexico’s popular northwestern resorts of Los Cabos on Monday, prompting authorities to close schools and airports two years after a powerful storm pummeled the region.

The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned that “preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion” in parts of the Baja California peninsula and that Newton would make landfall on Tuesday.
