Hurricane Delta has rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane with 130mph winds on a course to hammer south-eastern Mexico before approaching the US Gulf coast.

The immediate worst impacts are expected along the resort-studded north-eastern tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where hurricane conditions are expected on Tuesday night and landfall early on Wednesday.
