Overview
- Mexico’s weather service forecasts torrential rainfall in Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas and Tabasco, with risks of flooding, river rises and landslides, alongside an intense Gulf ‘Norte’ with Veracruz coastal gusts near 100–120 km/h and hazardous seas into Tehuantepec.
- Snow or sleet is possible in northern and center‑north highlands, including Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila and Sinaloa, with freezing rain risk in parts of Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas and widespread hard freezes in mountainous regions.
- National Civil Protection reports a largely clean safety balance with localized impacts such as downed trees, signage and a river overflow in San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz, as CFE and Defense teams carry out repairs and preventive patrols in affected states.
- In Sonora, the residual polar air and an approaching polar trough keep mornings and nights cold, with a slow temperature rebound from Sunday and state civil protection urging precautions for vulnerable groups and safe heater use.
- Separate advisories note Argentina’s yellow wind alerts for the southeast of Santa Cruz and the east coast of Tierra del Fuego with gusts near 90 km/h and improving conditions around Buenos Aires, while Galicia in Spain faces cloudy, humid hours with light rain and southerly gusts.
