Overview
- Mexico’s weather service said Monday that Cold Front No. 50 is moving across the north and northeast, with forecasts of torrential rain of 150 to 250 mm in San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Puebla and Veracruz.
- The setup involves a dry line and the subtropical jet, which can drive severe wind gusts, with Chihuahua and Coahuila at risk for 60 to 80 km/h bursts and brief tornado‑like vortices called torbellinos.
- A broad heat wave continues over much of the country, with temperatures above 45 °C in parts of Sonora and Sinaloa and widespread 40 to 45 °C readings from the Pacific states to the Gulf.
- The Yucatán Peninsula faces very hot afternoons of 38 to 42 °C and a low chance of scattered showers, and local forecasters advise residents to limit peak‑sun outings and watch for coastal wind gusts.
- Authorities urge people in the rain zones to track SMN and Protección Civil bulletins, since intense downpours and strong winds can trigger flash floods, river rises, landslides and travel disruptions; in separate forecasts, Galician towns in Spain reported Sunday storms and southerly gusts near 45 km/h.
