Overview
- Mexico’s weather service expects very cold mornings of roughly −10 to 5 °C across more than 20 states on Thursday as a new cold front arrives.
- Conagua and the SMN forecast torrential rain for southern Quintana Roo, very strong rain in Campeche, showers in Yucatán, elevated seas with possible waterspouts, and gap winds up to 70–80 km/h in the Isthmus and Gulf of Tehuantepec.
- Authorities caution that heavy precipitation could cut visibility, raise rivers and streams, and trigger urban flooding, landslides, and roadway icing, with gusts capable of toppling trees and signs.
- In Hidalgo, the previous front drove a sharp temperature drop and at least three landslides that prompted precautionary evacuations, while in-person classes largely resumed and recorded rainfall stayed below earlier projections.
- AEMET-based forecasts point to near-continuous rain and southerly gusts above 50 km/h across multiple Galician towns, and Mendoza, Argentina, is set for warm conditions near 31–32 °C with instability that could produce isolated storms and hail.
