THE READ — what this desk must decide today
Ports closed in Guerrero and Michoacan, a signal No. 3 on Bangladesh's coast, a Bay crossing, and the Rhine at 11 cm.
On the Pacific coast of Mexico the question is when to reopen, as Polo turns away. On the Bay the fleets are ashore through the crossing, and Hilo's harbour plans for Friday's swell. On the Rhine, 11 cm at Kaub means every barge loads light.
