**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is experiencing challenging weather conditions this week, according to the latest update from CONAGUA. Two cold fronts advancing from the northwest and north are converging with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in strong winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Wind speeds are expected to range from 50 to 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur, which could cause dust clouds and reduce visibility for drivers and aviators. Coastal areas on the western side can anticipate waves between 1 and 3 meters high, posing threats to smaller vessels.
Here’s what different locations can expect:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy skies with light rain during the day, accompanied by early morning thunderstorms. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with nighttime northwesterly winds hitting 30 km/h.
