Overview

  • Mexico’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional has kept extreme heat warnings active in Baja California with temperatures of 40–45 °C and wind gusts up to 60 km/h driven by monsoon moisture and high-altitude troughs.
  • Spain’s civil protection authorities activated the Plan Inunmur preemergency in Murcia under orange and yellow AEMET alerts for storms, hailstones over 2 cm and hourly rainfall up to 30 mm.
  • Mexico City’s Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection declared a Yellow Alert for heavy rain and possible hail in eleven boroughs, forecasting 15–29 mm of precipitation through late July 25.
  • Argentina’s SMN expanded yellow alerts across nine provinces for a second polar cold wave, warning of subzero temperatures, Zonda winds reaching 100 km/h and snow accumulations of 20–40 cm in the Andes.
