Cold Front 29 Dominates the Start of the Week
As we approach Monday morning, Cold Front 29 will continue moving across southeastern Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, driven by a polar air mass. This system will cause temperature drops across wide areas of the country and bring fog in regions like the Northern Plateau, Central Plateau, and the Valley of Mexico.
- States in the east and southeast, including Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Tabasco, will experience heavy to very heavy rainfall.
- In central Mexico, including the capital city of Mexico, isolated rain showers are expected.
Strong Winds and High Waves
According to the National Weather Service (SMN), a significant phenomenon at the start of the week will be the “North” event. Very strong gusts are expected in the Isthmus and Tehuantepec Gulf, as well as along the coasts of Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo. These conditions will be accompanied by high waves, posing a risk for navigation and coastal activities.
Frost and Temperature Contrast
During the early mornings of Monday and Tuesday, minimum temperatures will remain below zero with frost in mountainous regions of northern and central Mexico. Meanwhile, coastal areas in the Pacific and southern regions will maintain high maximum temperatures, creating a significant temperature contrast between day and night.
What to Expect Midweek?
By midweek, Cold Front 29 will no longer directly affect Mexico. However, a new frontal system and other low-pressure channels will keep the likelihood of rain in the east, southeast, and some central and northern entities. Cold temperatures will persist during mornings and nights, particularly in high-altitude regions.
