Attention. There will be more than two anticyclones in Mexico this week: what are they and which states will be most affected?

This week, Mexico is expected to experience the effects of more than two anticyclones as detailed by the national meteorological service.

In Mexico, various weather phenomena continue to impact the national territory, with this week seeing the emergence of over two anticyclones, aligning with the Valentine's Day celebrations. According to the 96-hour forecast from the National Meteorological Service (SMN), the climatic landscape will be shaped by a dominant anticyclonic system contrasted with the influence of a cyclonic circulation in the northern region of the country.

To comprehend the potential effects of these anticyclones, it's essential to understand what they are and their origins. An anticyclone is defined as a 'high atmospheric pressure zone' where air descends from the atmosphere, resulting in a phenomenon known as 'subsidence'. This process can lead to varying weather conditions depending on the geographical location of the anticyclone, which can significantly affect local climates and even lead to weather warnings in affected areas.

The SMN, part of Mexico's National Water Commission (Conagua), emphasizes the need for the public to stay informed about these meteorological occurrences, as the impacts can vary across different states. It is crucial for residents of areas predicted to be most affected to prepare and adapt to the anticipated changes in weather conditions, particularly with regard to agriculture, transportation, and daily activities.
