Galicia Faces Stormy Spells as Mexico Endures a Broad Heat Wave

Meteorologists flag a split pattern driven by a midlevel high over Mexico alongside unstable Atlantic air over Galicia.

Overview

  • AEMET forecasts on Wednesday call for widespread cloud cover in Galicia with very high rain odds, including 100% chances in places like Cangas and Meis through the morning and early afternoon, with thunderstorms possible.
  • Local outlooks warn of gusty winds and muggy air in the Galician towns, with gusts near 35 km/h in Cangas and up to about 53 km/h in Tui during peak storm periods.
  • Mexico’s national weather service said Wednesday that a midlevel anticylone is keeping a heat wave in place, with temperatures above 40°C expected in parts of Yucatán and Campeche and no rain forecast in the peninsula.
  • Nuevo León remains under intense heat, with highs of 40–45°C and bursts of 50–70 km/h wind that could kick up dust storms called tolvaneras, plus a chance of isolated showers, according to CONAGUA’s extended outlook.
  • City forecasts reflect the split conditions, with Lázaro Cárdenas expecting a warm, cloudy, rain‑free day near 32°C and other Mexican cities staying hot and dry, prompting health advice to hydrate, use sunscreen, and limit midday exposure.
