Authorities issue warnings as early winter systems intensify across three countries.

Overview

  • Mexico’s meteorological service reports Cold Front 16 is entrenched over the north with low temperatures and a chance of snow or sleet in Sonora’s highlands, as local civil protection urges precautions.

  • AEMET-based forecasts point to widespread cloud, near-certain light rain and gusty winds across Galicia, with locations such as Vigo seeing gusts up to 47 km/h alongside high humidity and occasional reduced visibility.
