Cold front 34 will bring snow to Mexico this week: Which states will be most affected?

A cold front is expected to bring snowfall and temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius to several northern states in Mexico this week.

This week, Mexico is bracing for the impact of cold front 34, which is anticipated to cause snowfall in northern regions and temperatures plummeting to as low as -10 degrees Celsius. The National Water Commission's Meteorological Service (Conagua) has indicated that an influx of humidity along the coasts combined with anti-cyclonic circulation is likely to contribute to the snowfall and sleet in four statesβ€”Sonora, northern Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Durango. Monday, February 9, is forecasted to be particularly severe in terms of adverse weather conditions.

In addition to the expected snowfall, meteorological forecasts predict strong wind gusts reaching up to 70 kilometers per hour, posing additional hazards such as fallen trees and billboards. Given these weather conditions, authorities recommend that residents stay alert to Civil Protection advisories and seek medical attention if experiencing health issues due to the cold. The authorities' proactive approach aims to mitigate potential risks and ensure public safety during this extreme weather event.

This weather front underscores the challenges of winter climate events in Mexico, especially in the northern states where such conditions can significantly impact daily life and infrastructure. As the situation evolves, monitoring from local meteorological services and adherence to safety advisories will be crucial for communities in the affected areas, emphasizing the need for preparedness during extreme weather conditions.
