The interaction of several weather systems is generating a rainy season affecting most of Mexico. Among the factors responsible are an extended low-pressure trough over the Northern and Central Plateaus, a low-pressure center located aloft over the eastern and northeastern parts of the country, and the continued entry of humid air from the Gulf of Mexico.
This combination has generated conditions for intense to moderate rainfall, accompanied by possible lightning, wind gusts, and, in some cases, hail.
What will the weather be like in each state?
Meteorological authorities have reported on the regions that will be most affected by this storm.
Intense rainfall (more than 75 mm):
Veracruz and Puebla, due to the influence of the low-pressure trough and humidity from the Gulf.
Nayarit and Chihuahua, due to the monsoon-type circulation pattern.
Oaxaca, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco, due to the monsoon trough and a low-pressure area in the South Pacific.
Chiapas, due to moisture from the Caribbean and a low-pressure channel from the southeast.
Very heavy rains (50-75 mm):
State of Mexico, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, and Tamaulipas, due to moisture from the Gulf and high-altitude conditions.
Durango, Sinaloa, and Sonora, due to atmospheric instability and the monsoon.
Guerrero, due to the influence of the South Pacific.
Tabasco, affected by moisture from the Caribbean.
Heavy rains (25-50 mm):
Morelos, Tlaxcala, Mexico City, Querétaro, and Guanajuato, affected by central systems.
Quintana Roo, Yucatán, and Campeche, interacting with humid air from the Caribbean.
Isolated showers (5-25 mm):
Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, Nuevo León, and Coahuila, with less accumulation, but still under the influence of the low-pressure channel.
Authorities urge the population to stay informed and take precautions against possible flooding, landslides, and damage to roads and urban areas. Civil Protection and the National Meteorological Service will continue to update forecasts as the storm progresses.
