Cold Front 28 Drives Heavy Rains, 'Norte' Winds and Arctic Cold Across Mexico

Interaction with a Gulf low plus an upper-level trough is set to intensify rain and winds over the east and southeast.

Overview

  • The national weather service reports Front 28 and its polar air mass over northern Mexico and the Gulf, triggering a broad temperature drop with morning fog in mountain zones.
  • Forecasts highlight heavy rain for Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Chiapas, with additional showers in the Valley of Mexico and across the Yucatán Peninsula.
  • A strong ‘Norte’ is expected with gusts reaching 80–100 km/h in the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec, 50–70 km/h in Tamaulipas and Veracruz, and hazardous waves along Gulf coasts.
  • Mountain temperatures could plunge to −15 to −10 °C in parts of Chihuahua and Durango, while Pacific coastal states may reach 35–40 °C, reflecting sharp regional contrasts.
  • Civil protection advises layered clothing, safe heater ventilation and road caution, as officials confirm a carbon‑monoxide fatality in Chihuahua and schools remain open without a national suspension.
