Regional Weather Divide: Cold Front Hits Northwest Mexico as Argentina and Spain Issue Storm Warnings

Official forecasts highlight sharp regional contrasts that demand targeted alerts.

Overview

  • Mexico’s national weather service reports Cold Front No. 34 and a polar trough are driving gusty winds, temperature drops, showers and a credible risk of snow or sleet in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Baja California.
  • A mid‑level anticyclone keeps most of Mexico hot and largely dry, with SMN forecasting afternoon highs of 40–45 °C in parts of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas and isolated rains with coastal gusts across the Yucatán Peninsula.
  • SMN cautions about strong winds of 50–70 km/h in Sonora and Chihuahua and elevated seas of 1.5–2.5 m along the Baja California Pacific coast, the Gulf of Tehuantepec and the coasts of Jalisco and Colima.
  • Argentina’s meteorological service maintains a yellow alert for Santa Fe and issues short‑term warnings for strong storms with gusts and probable hail in Córdoba, where early downpours and hail were reported.
  • AEMET‑based forecasts point to cloudy, rainy and windy conditions across parts of Galicia, with very high precipitation probabilities and gusts reaching roughly 60–70 km/h in towns including Cangas, Moaña, Meis, Barro, Mos and As Neves.
