Overview
- Mexico’s weather service says the front and polar air mass are sweeping the Gulf coast with gusts of 85–100 km/h in Tamaulipas and Veracruz, 65–80 km/h in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and seas of 3–4 meters.
- More than 20 states are forecast to see early‑morning lows between −5 and 5 °C, with frost likely on the Mesa del Norte and Mesa Central and a chance of sleet on Pico de Orizaba.
- Veracruz remains under a Gray Alert with expected rain totals of 50–70 mm, and the Universidad Veracruzana suspended in‑person classes in Xalapa, Veracruz–Boca del Río, and Coatzacoalcos–Minatitlán.
- SMN/Conagua caution that heavy rain could cut road visibility and raise rivers, with risks of urban flooding and landslides, while strong winds may down trees and outdoor signage.
- Regional outlooks diverge: Spain’s AEMET projects increasing cloud, rain and strong southerlies in Galicia, and Argentina’s SMN reports no active alerts even as private forecasts flag possible Patagonia deterioration into the weekend.
