Winter on Hold? Anticyclone Will Raise Temperatures in Mexico; These States Will Reach 45 Degrees

An anticyclone in Mexico is expected to significantly raise temperatures across several states, with some areas potentially reaching 45 degrees Celsius.

The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has announced that an anticyclone will settle over western Mexico, leading to a notable rise in temperatures throughout the region. This weather pattern is anticipated to create warm afternoons, particularly in the western, central, and southern states, while mornings and evenings will still experience cooler conditions in areas like the Northern and Central Plateaus. This stark contrast may present challenges for residents, especially in urban areas such as Mexico City, where environmental contingencies are already in place.

In addition to the raises in temperature due to the anticyclone, the SMN warned of the effects from cold front number 35, which is expected to bring heavy rains to Baja California, scattered showers in Sonora, and isolated showers in Baja California Sur. This combination of extreme heat and potential rain could result in health risks for the population, particularly vulnerable groups who may struggle to adapt to the rapid weather changes.

Overall, around 25 states in Mexico are bracing for increased temperatures amidst changing weather patterns, underlining a critical moment for public safety and health advisories. Authorities will need to monitor the situation closely, as the merging of warm weather and environmental contingencies could lead to a range of public health and safety concerns across the affected areas.
