**Baja California Weather Update: Prepare for Strong Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California is starting the week with challenging weather conditions as per the latest update from the National Water Commission. Two cold fronts are advancing from the northwest and north, intertwining with the subtropical jet stream to bring intense winds, rough seas, and isolated showers throughout the region.
Expect wind gusts between 50 and 70 km/h in both Baja California and Baja California Sur—potent enough to cause dust storms that might reduce visibility on roads and in the air. The west coast is bracing for waves between 1 and 3 meters, which could be perilous for smaller vessels.
