Heat Wave Grips Jalisco, Mexico; Severe Weather Threatens Northern Regions

Jalisco, Mexico, is experiencing a heat wave with temperatures ranging from 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, according to the National Meteorological Service. An anticyclonic circulation in the middle levels of the atmosphere is maintaining the heat wave in the central, southwest, south, and southeast zones of the state. Minimum temperatures will reach 0 to 5 degrees Celsius in the early morning. Meanwhile, northern and northeastern Mexico are facing a different weather threat. Low-pressure channels, a trough at altitude, and a frontal system near the northeast are causing showers and heavy rains in these regions. Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas are expected to experience intense rainfall, potentially leading to flooding, river overflows, landslides, and water accumulation. Wind gusts of 60 to 80 km/h and the possible formation of whirlwinds or tornadoes are also forecast for these states. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek shade, limit sun exposure, wear protective clothing, and cool down regularly to mitigate the effects of the heat wave in Jalisco. In the northern regions, precautions should be taken against flooding and severe winds.
