Intense heat will continue across much of Coahuila and Durango this Thursday, with temperatures reaching up to 41°C (106°F) in the northern part of the state. Although partly cloudy skies are expected in some cities, the chance of rain remains at 0%, while wind gusts could exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
The day will be marked by hot conditions throughout most of Coahuila, especially in the northern municipalities and the Laguna Region, while Durango City will experience milder temperatures due to its higher elevation. Weather conditions will favor clear to partly cloudy skies throughout the day, resulting in a high heat index during the hours of strongest sunshine.
Where Will It Be Hottest in Coahuila?
The hottest forecast is for Piedras Negras, where temperatures are expected to reach a high of 41°C (106°F) and a low of 23°C (73°F). Skies will remain clear for most of the day, with no rain expected.
In addition to the extreme heat, strong winds will also be a concern. Winds of 20 to 25 km/h (12 to 16 mph) from the southeast are expected, with gusts reaching up to 54 km/h (34 mph). Residents are advised to secure loose objects that could be displaced by the wind.
Monclova will also experience very hot weather, with a forecast high of 37°C (99°F) and a low of 22°C (72°F). Skies will remain clear, with no chance of rain. Southeast winds of 10 to 15 km/h (6 to 9 mph) are expected, with gusts up to 39 km/h (24 mph).
