## Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Days
Baja California began the week with challenging weather conditions as two cold fronts collide from the northwest and north. These systems are merging with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in powerful winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers throughout the region, according to the latest CONAGUA updates.
Residents can expect wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur, which are likely to kick up dust clouds and decrease visibility both on the roads and in the air. The west coast will experience waves ranging from 1 to 3 meters, posing significant risks for smaller vessels.
Here’s what you need to know for key areas:
– **Tijuana**: The city will see partly cloudy skies with some light rain during the day and thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwesterly winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast conditions are expected with temperatures oscillating between 18°C to 29°C. Strong westerly winds could reach up to 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Prepare for intermittent clouds with occasional light rain, and temperatures from 14°C to 20°C. Westerly winds may hit 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Expect cloudy weather with heavy showers, temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
– **La Rumorosa**: Partly cloudy conditions with daytime light rain evolving into thunderstorms later. Temperatures will range from 8°C to 15°C, with southwestern winds possibly gusting up to 79 km/h at night.
– **Rosarito**: The forecast is similar to Tijuana, with light rain and occasional early-morning thunderstorms. Temperatures will hover between 14°C and 16°C, with winds up to 29 km/h.
