The weather across Mexico on February 21, 2025, is set to be influenced heavily by the stationary cold front number 28, causing fluctuated weather conditions throughout the country. The front will interact with another low-pressure channel over the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in very strong rain showers across states like Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas. Meanwhile, Puebla, Oaxaca, and the Yucatán Peninsula are expected to experience strong rainfall, with isolated showers anticipated across the northeastern and eastern parts of Mexico.
This cold front, driven by Arctic air, is predicted to keep temperatures very cold, especially with frost likely affecting the northern, northeastern, eastern, and central areas of the country. The associated strong Norte winds will lead to elevated waves on the coasts of Veracruz and the Gulf of Tehuantepec, creating potentially hazardous conditions for coastal navigation.
The weather forecast details for various regions include:
Valle de México: The area will experience mostly cloudy skies throughout the day, with cool to temperate conditions this morning. Low temperature readings are expected between 10 to 12 °C, with afternoon highs around 20 to 22 °C. Light rainfall is possible, along with thunderstorms.
Península de Baja California: Morning fog is likely along the western coast, transitioning to warm temperatures by afternoon. Coastal winds will be from the north and northwest at speeds ranging from 10 to 25 km/h.
Pacífico Norte: Expect cool to cold conditions this morning with warm afternoons, especially noted around Sinaloa. Skies will be partly cloudy with no expected rainfall.
Pacífico Centro: A similar morning chill followed by high temperatures later, but with expectations for showers with lightning across Jalisco and Michoacán.
Pacífico Sur: It will be chilly with fog this morning, leading to very strong rain predicted for Chiapas and strong showers for Oaxaca by afternoon. A Norte wind event is anticipated, bringing wind gusts between 40 to 100 km/h in certain areas.
Golfo de México: Cloudy skies with significant rain forecasted especially for Veracruz and Tabasco, where potential flooding could occur. Winds will range between 20 to 30 km/h.
Península de Yucatán: Showers and thunderstorms are expected, adding to possible flooding risks. The forecast calls for temperatures ranging from 16 to 28 °C.
Mesa del Norte and Mesa Central: Overcast conditions are likely throughout these areas, with expected rainfall causing possible disruptions including flooding.
Residents across impacted regions have been advised to stay updated on the weather conditions through official resources such as the links to governmental meteorological services. This guidance is important, especially considering the high likelihood of flooding and hazardous weather patterns.
Overall, this weather forecast serves as a reminder of the dynamic environment Mexico faces and the impacts of seasonal changes.
