Mexico is expected to experience rainfall and cooler temperatures in some areas this week, according to the report National Meteorological Service (SMN).
SMN has warned that rainfall could cause reduced visibility, landslides and river flooding. It urged residents to follow the Civil Protection authority’s recommendations because strong winds could knock down trees and advertisements.
Rain forecast by state
Weather forecasts predict that the low pressure system is moving from the Caribbean towards Central America, passing over the southern part of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This system, interacting with a cold front, will cause precipitation this week in several states:
- Heavy rainfall (75 to 150 mm): Chiapas.
- Very heavy rainfall (50 to 75 mm): Campeche, Tabasco and Yucatán.
- Heavy rainfall (25 to 50 mm): Oaxaca, Quintana Roo and Veracruz.
Meanwhile, another low pressure channel extending to the north, west, and center of the country, coupled with the influx of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, will cause rain in the following countries:
- Heavy rainfall (25 to 50 mm): Guerrero and Michoacán.

- Isolated rain (0.1 to 5 mm): Baja California, Baja California Sur, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Tlaxcala and Zacatecas.
