**Baja California Weather Advisory: Prepare for High Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
As the week begins, Baja California residents should gear up for challenging weather conditions. According to the latest update from Mexico’s National Water Commission (CONAGUA), two cold fronts are sweeping in from the northwest and north. These will combine with the subtropical jet stream, resulting in strong winds, turbulent seas, and sporadic showers across the region.
Expect wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h throughout Baja California and Baja California Sur, strong enough to create dust clouds and reduce visibility on roads and in the air. The west coast will experience waves ranging from 1 to 3 meters, posing risks for smaller vessels.
Here’s a brief overview of anticipated weather in key locations:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rain during the day and early morning thunderstorms. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with NW winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies with temperatures from 18°C to 29°C. Strong west winds could reach 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Expect intermittent clouds with light rain, temperatures between 14°C and 20°C, and west winds up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Cloudy with heavy showers, temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
