Lowell has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph). The Baja California peninsular is home to Los Cabos, a beach and cruise ship destination but much of the area is desert and not home to oil installations.

Tropical Storm Julio drenched Baja California in late August but did not cause major damage.
