**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
The weather in Baja California is taking a turn this week, with the latest report from CONAGUA warning of challenging conditions. Two cold fronts are advancing from the northwest and north, merging with the subtropical jet stream to bring strong winds, turbulent seas, and scattered showers to the region.
Residents can anticipate wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h throughout Baja California and Baja California Sur, which could whip up dust and reduce visibility on roads and in the air. Along the west coast, waves are expected to reach heights of 1 to 3 meters, creating hazardous conditions for smaller boats.
Here’s a breakdown of what each area in the region can expect:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rain during the day, turning into thunderstorms early in the morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwesterly winds reaching up to 30 km/h during nighttime.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies with temperatures between 18°C and 29°C. Strong west winds could rise up to 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Anticipate occasional clouds and light rain, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C and westerly winds up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Cloudy with heavy showers, temperatures between 10°C to 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
