**Baja California Weather Advisory: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is kicking off the week with challenging weather conditions as reported by the latest update from CONAGUA. Two cold fronts are moving in from the northwest and north, combining with the subtropical jet stream to deliver intense winds, rough seas, and occasional showers throughout the region.
Residents should anticipate wind gusts ranging between 50 and 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur. These winds are strong enough to create dust clouds and reduce visibility, impacting both road travel and air conditions. On the west coast, waves are expected to reach between 1 and 3 meters, posing a risk for smaller vessels.
Here’s a breakdown of the weather forecast for key areas:
– **Tijuana:** Expect partly cloudy skies with light rain during the day, and thunderstorms early in the morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C. Northwest winds could reach up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali:** Overcast skies are expected, with temperatures between 18°C and 29°C. Strong western winds may peak at 56 km/h in the afternoon.
