Last days of winter: Which states will 'freeze' due to Cold Front 38 and where is the heat wave?
The National Meteorological Service of Mexico reports that Cold Front 38 will bring freezing temperatures and strong winds to several states while a heat wave is expected in others.
As Cold Front 38 hits Mexico, it is projected to extend over the Baja California Peninsula, leading to extremely low temperatures, high winds, and rough seas, according to the National Meteorological Service (SMN). Residents in northern regions, particularly mountainous areas, should prepare for temperatures dropping to -5 degrees Celsius on March 3, which can result in dangerous icy conditions.
In addition to the chilly weather from the cold front, various regions of the country such as Durango, Jalisco, MichoacΓ‘n, Morelos, Puebla, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas are bracing for a heat wave. The phenomenon is connected to high-pressure systems and the influx of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea, which could cause rain and thunderstorms across parts of the Yucatan Peninsula, western, and central Mexico.
The simultaneous occurrence of Cold Front 38 and the heat wave highlights the erratic patterns of weather that Mexico can experience during transitional seasons. The meteorological alerts serve as a reminder for citizens to stay informed and take necessary precautions against extreme weather conditions that could impact daily life, agriculture, and general safety in the affected regions.
