**Baja California Weather Update: Prepare for High Winds, Rough Seas, and Cooler Temperatures**
Baja California began the week with challenging weather conditions as two cold fronts push in from the northwest and north, interacting with the subtropical jet stream. This combination is expected to bring strong winds, rough seas, and scattered showers across the region, according to the latest update from the National Water Commission.
Winds could gust between 50 and 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur, with the potential to kick up dust clouds and impair visibility on roads and in the air. The western coast is expected to see waves between 1 and 3 meters, which could pose a hazard for smaller vessels.
Here’s a snapshot of what to expect in key areas across the region:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy skies with light rain during the day and thunderstorms anticipated in the early morning hours. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h at night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies will dominate, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 29°C. Strong westerly winds could reach up to 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Expect intermittent clouds and light rain, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C and west winds up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Cloudy with heavy showers likely, temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
– **La Rumorosa**: Daytime will see partly cloudy skies with light rain, escalating to thunderstorms later. Temperatures will be between 8°C and 15°C, with southwest winds gusting up to 79 km/h at night.
– **Rosarito**: Similar to Tijuana, expect light rain with the possibility of early-morning thunderstorms, temperatures between 14°C and 16°C, and winds up to 29 km/h.
– **San QuintÃn**: Anticipate partly cloudy skies with temperatures from 12°C to 22°C and winds ranging from 30 to 54 km/h.
– **San Felipe**: A mix of sun and clouds with temperatures between 18°C and 24°C, and southeast winds ranging from 23 to 39 km/h.
