MEXICO CITY, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Octave formed south of Mexico's Baja California peninsula early Sunday morning.

Octave had maximum sustained wind speeds of up to 50 miles per hour (85 kmph) and could strengthen slightly, the NHC said.
There were no hazards affecting land, according to the NHC advisory sent at 1500 GMT. (Reporting by Elinor Comlay; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)
