**Baja California Weather Alert: Prepare for Strong Winds, Choppy Seas, and Cooler Days**
Baja California is starting the week with challenging weather conditions, as updated by CONAGUA. Two cold fronts are moving in from the northwest and north, meeting the subtropical jet stream, resulting in strong winds, rough seas, and scattered showers throughout the region.
Residents should expect wind gusts ranging from 50 to 70 km/h across Baja California and Baja California Sur, which are powerful enough to stir up dust clouds and reduce visibility both on the roads and in the skies. Coastal areas will face waves between 1 and 3 meters, posing risks to smaller vessels.
Here’s a detailed weather forecast for some key locations:
– **Tijuana**: Partly cloudy with light rain expected during the day, transitioning to thunderstorms in the early morning. Temperatures will range from 13°C to 17°C, with northwest winds reaching up to 30 km/h during the night.
– **Mexicali**: Overcast skies will dominate, with temperatures between 18°C and 29°C. Strong west winds could reach 56 km/h in the afternoon.
– **Ensenada**: Look for intermittent clouds accompanied by light rain, with temperatures from 14°C to 20°C and west winds up to 30 km/h.
– **Tecate**: Anticipate cloudy skies with heavy showers, temperatures between 10°C and 16°C, and winds around 38 km/h.
