**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is facing a challenging start to the week with severe weather conditions. According to the latest report from CONAGUA, two cold fronts are moving in from the northwest and north. As they collide with the subtropical jet stream, the region will experience strong winds, turbulent seas, and scattered rain showers.
Residents in both Baja California and Baja California Sur should expect wind gusts ranging between 50 and 70 km/h. These winds are strong enough to create dust clouds and reduce visibility, affecting both road and air travel. Along the west coast, ocean waves are predicted to reach heights of 1 to 3 meters, presenting risks for smaller watercraft.
Here’s a detailed weather forecast for significant areas in the region:
– **Tijuana**: Anticipate partly cloudy skies with intermittent rains during the day and thunderstorms early in the morning. Temperatures are expected to range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
