First hurricane of season hits BP oil spill clean-up Hurricane Alex halts efforts to capture oil from Gulf of Mexico as experts predict severe storm season aheadThe first named storm of the Atlantic season has hit BP's oil spill clean-up efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.Hurricane Alex, upgraded from tropical storm status late last night and expected to hit the coasts of Mexico and Texas later today, is expected to interrupt the company's efforts for several days to come.Waves as high as 3.6 metres (12ft) are expected to delay the company's plans to employ a further system to capture more oil from the blown-out oil well until later in the week, while controlled burns of crude on the oil's surface, flights spraying dispersant chemicals and booming operations were all halted yesterday, officials said.Alex, the first June storm in 15 years to gain hurricane strength in the Atlantic, is expected to make land tonight, bringing 15-30cms (6-12ins) of rain to north-eastern Mexico and southern Texas as well as dangerous storm surges along the coast.The hurricane has winds of 80mph and was located about 255 miles south-east of Brownsville, Texas, at 7am today UK time. It was moving west at 5mph, the US national hurricane centre said.Mexico has closed its Gulf coast ports of Dos Bocas and Cayo Arcas – which handle around 80% of the country's oil exports – since Sunday because of strong surf. Although Alex is hampering BP's clean-up efforts, the company has said the storm is not expected to interrupt plans to drill two relief wells intended to plug the leak by August.A hurricane warning has been issued for the coast of Texas, south of Baffin Bay down to the mouth of the Rio Grande, and along the north-east coast of Mexico.A tropical storm warning extends south along the east Mexican coast to Cabo Rojo, just south of the port city of Tamp ハリケーンアレックス停止の努力は、メキシコ湾から油をcapture to専門家は、暴風雨の季節は、最初の大西洋の季節の嵐という名前のaheadTheと予測として湾岸Mexico.Hurricaneアレックスの努力を熱帯低気圧の状態からupgraded BP社の油流出をクリーンアップヒットが遅い最後夜は今日この後、メキシコ、テキサス州の沿岸を襲ったことが期待、as come.Wavesにいくつかの日for 3.6メートル（12フィート）highとしてcompany 。。u0026#39;s effortsをinterruptする会社のplansをfurther systemをcaptureに採用する遅延にも予想される週の後半にまで吹き飛ばされた油から詳。油井、油の表面粗のcontrolledやけどは、フライトがブームの操作のすべての停止時間が、職員のsaid.Alex化学物質を分散剤を散布しながら、15年の6月に初の嵐大西洋の利得ハリケーンの強さは、土地今夜を作るには、15（6 12ins）雨の北東メキシコ、テキサス州南部と同様に危険な嵐に30cmsは海岸
