**Cold Front Approaching Baja California: Expect Winds and Light Rain**
A cold front is set to make its way into the Baja California region starting this Monday, October 28th. The State Coordination of Civil Protection anticipates cloudy skies and light rainfall, particularly affecting areas like Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito, with potential impact in Mexicali as well. As the colder weather approaches, residents are advised to take necessary precautions.
By Tuesday, October 29th, strong winds are expected to persist, although the chances of rain may decrease. This cold front precedes the first winter storm of the season, which is projected to hit between November 1st and 3rd. However, José Luis Jiménez, director of the Municipal Civil Protection, cautioned that it is still too early to predict the storm’s intensity or potential consequences, as weather patterns may change rapidly.
**Precautionary Measures for Residents:**
– Dress warmly to adjust to the colder weather.
– Ensure doors and windows are securely closed.
– Avoid sudden temperature changes.
– Pay special attention to the well-being of children and the elderly.
– Drive cautiously during adverse weather conditions.
**Current Developments in Tijuana**
As Tijuana braces for this weather shift, local authorities are taking steps to enhance safety in vulnerable areas, particularly the eastern part of the city. Efforts are also underway to finalize the construction of the Otay 2 checkpoint, which has reached 90% completion. This new checkpoint aims to reduce congestion for cargo trucks along Boulevard Bellas Artes.
In other local updates, half of the newly established businesses fail to survive beyond their second year, primarily due to inefficient resource management. Additionally, two individuals were tragically killed in a vehicle in the Mariano Matamoros neighborhood, with 40mm shell casings discovered at the scene. Meanwhile, employees of the PJF in Tijuana have returned to work under protest following a decisive vote from the workforce. In terms of financial oversight, the city’s Inspector General’s Office has addressed 536 complaints from the previous administration, primarily implicating police department members.
Please stay informed and prepared as this weather event unfolds, and follow future updates from local civil protection authorities.
