The National Weather Service (SMN) of Mexico has forecasted the arrival of cold front 36, expected to affect various states in the northwest and northern regions of the country beginning this Wednesday. As part of the ongoing seasonal pattern, this year’s winter could see as many as 48 cold fronts entering Mexico, which have significant implications for weather variability across the nation. While some areas will experience a drop in temperatures, others will simultaneously face higher temperatures due to a coinciding heatwave.

The cold front is predicted to intensify through the weekend, leading to pronounced weather changes in specific states. Those states identified as being directly affected by cold front 36 include Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Puebla, Veracruz, Querétaro, Tabasco, Chiapas, and the Yucatan Peninsula. The SMN has issued advisories for residents in these areas to be prepared for sudden temperature fluctuations and associated weather phenomena.

Overall, the arrival of cold front 36 highlights the ongoing challenges posed by extreme weather events in Mexico, which are increasingly linked to climate change and variability. With different regions experiencing contrasts—the northern states bracing for colder conditions, while other areas face potentially harsh heatwaves—this situation underscores the need for effective weather preparedness strategies and public awareness campaigns to mitigate the impacts on local populations and infrastructure.
