The National Meteorological Service (SMN) reported on May 23 that a low-pressure zone with a 70% probability of cyclonic development is being monitored off the southern coasts of Michoacán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca for the next seven days.
The formation could originate early next week and generate adverse conditions on land and at sea.
States under watch for heavy and intense rains
This Thursday’s forecast warns of intense rains in Oaxaca and Chiapas, as well as very heavy rains in Michoacán and Guerrero, all accompanied by lightning, possible hail, and even landslides and flooding.
Heavy rains are also expected in:

Recommendations
