The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has announced that cold front number 35 is set to enter Mexico from the northwest, beginning on Monday, February 16, 2026. This cold front will not only bring significant temperature drops to various regions but is also expected to cause heavy rainfall and strong winds, raising concerns about potential snowfall or sleet in affected areas.

The SMN indicates that this cold front will be associated with a polar trough and subtropical jet stream, which will enhance its impact as it advances southward. The system is projected to move from the Pacific coast into the northern territories of Mexico, particularly affecting states in the northwest with adverse weather conditions anticipated from February 17 to February 19. Residents are urged to prepare for these weather changes and potential hazards.

With cold front number 35 approaching, state and local authorities are likely to coordinate emergency response measures and provide timely updates to mitigate any risks posed by the severe weather. The expected heavy rains could also lead to flooding in some areas, necessitating the need for vigilance among the population as the situation develops throughout the week.
