**Evaluating Remote Learning Due to High Temperatures**
In response to the escalating high temperatures in the region, the Governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, announced that authorities are considering transitioning to remote learning for basic level students if the heatwave persists. The decision comes amidst concerns over the lack of adequate infrastructure in Tijuana to handle the extreme weather.
“The instruction is to review the coming days’ weather conditions. If there’s a need for students to switch to distance learning, we will proceed accordingly, given the current infrastructure scenario in Tijuana,” Ávila Olmeda stated.
Unlike Mexicali, which is well-equipped to deal with high temperatures with nearly all schools fitted with air conditioning units, Tijuana lacks such necessary installations. Ávila Olmeda noted that immediate steps are being taken to assess the situation and decide on the best course of action to ensure the safety and well-being of the students.
The rising temperatures have not only impacted schooling but have also led to electrical outages in several neighborhoods across Tijuana. The area’s current infrastructure is struggling to cope with the excessive demand for electricity, causing frequent blackouts.
In light of the ongoing global warming and its adverse effects, it is clear that climate change is causing unforeseen climatic events that put additional pressure on the existing infrastructure and resources.

As Tijuana continues to grapple with unprecedented high temperatures, additional measures are being taken to mitigate the adverse effects on daily life. The relentless heat has contributed to severe water shortages, particularly over the recent weekend, where demand surged by 10%, according to the CESPT.
To alleviate the strain, eight hydration points have been installed in various parts of Tijuana, offering residents access to water during these challenging times. Meanwhile, concerns over air quality have risen, prompting health officials to consider issuing pollution alerts as contaminant levels reach worrying heights.
Moreover, the frequency of forest fires has dramatically increased by 42% this summer. This rise has put immense pressure on the local firefighting services, necessitating enhanced coordination and resource allocation to manage the growing number of fire incidents effectively.
On a related note, the national trend of stable gasoline prices continues, as confirmed by Borja Robles, stating that the removal of fuel subsidies has not led to an increase in costs for consumers. This consistency in fuel prices provides some relief amidst the various challenges posed by the extreme weather.
Residents are also advised to keep track of several scheduled infrastructure works, such as the closure of access ramps due to ongoing construction at the Nodo Morelos from 21:00 hours this Monday. Additionally, security and law enforcement agencies are actively investigating recent armed attacks, underscoring the diverse set of issues that local authorities must address concurrently.
