I imagine there will be an Oaxacan or something on the other side of
Acapulco with this one. Not sure what though ...but I have a feeling
about the weather in that neck of the seas.

I am surprised if this is all all that stuff from Jelawat produces.

Shows a remarkable lack of Lows in the right places at the right times
for some severe earthquakes.
So maybe this article is on the money:

The wrong kind of quake sounds a bit British though. Still we can't be
choosers. In both mega-quakes (11 April 2012 and 11 March 2011) the
North Atlantic housed a Blocking High off Britain dissipating just
before the quake in each case:

(work back the links by replacing the 0800 number with 0700, 0600,
0500 etc.)

(Change 1000 to 0900, 0800, 0700 etc.)

The fact that there were no tropical storms for the period leading up
to and for quite some time after is remarkable too when you consider
the lows that replace the above.

I haven't checked but I think the subsequent tremors had the effect of
holding off the storms. But in recent events the earthquakes for this
spell for instance have signalled the cyclogenesis of all 5 storms
showing at present on:
