Monterrey, Mexico, is set to experience a mix of weather conditions on Thursday, May 8, 2025, as a cold front moves into the region. The day will begin with a cool morning, featuring a partially cloudy sky and temperatures around 23 degrees Celsius. However, there is a 30% chance of rain during the early hours, which could dampen the start of the day for many residents.
As the day progresses, temperatures will rise slightly to a maximum of 26 degrees Celsius by the afternoon. The chance of rain will also increase, reaching 45% during this period. With the forecast indicating a generally cloudy day, residents should prepare for potential rain showers.
By nightfall, temperatures will cool to around 24 degrees Celsius, and the probability of rain will rise again to 50%. This means that if anyone has outdoor plans, they should take precautions against possible downpours. The sun will rise at 07:00 hours and set at 20:15 hours, providing a total of 13 hours and 14 minutes of daylight.
In addition to the rain, winds will be a significant factor on Thursday, with gusts expected to reach between 30 to 40 km/h, and possibly up to 70 km/h in some areas. This could lead to reduced visibility and potential hazards on the roads, especially in areas prone to dust storms.
The cold front number 42, which is expected to bring these weather changes, will be reinforced by a new mass of cold air. This combination is anticipated to interact with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in unstable weather conditions across the northeast of Mexico.
Residents are advised to stay informed about the weather and take necessary precautions, especially since the intense rains could lead to flooding and sudden water rises in low-lying areas. The authorities recommend avoiding areas known for flooding and securing light structures that could be affected by strong winds.
As for air quality, the monitoring system indicates that it remains good across Monterrey and the surrounding metropolitan area. This is a relief for residents who have faced air quality issues in the past. The air quality readings show a green status in most monitoring stations, indicating that the air is clean and safe for outdoor activities.
Looking ahead, Friday, May 9, 2025, is expected to bring a minimum temperature of 20 degrees and a maximum of 24 degrees, with continued chances of rain. The weekend will see a slight improvement, with Saturday forecasted to have a maximum of 28 degrees and clear skies, while Sunday will reach a high of 29 degrees.
Overall, while the weather on Thursday may pose challenges with rain and wind, it also marks the end of a prolonged heat wave that has gripped the region. As temperatures begin to moderate, residents can look forward to a more pleasant weekend ahead.
