Santa Ana Winds Hit Tijuana

“Residents of Tijuana prepare for Santa Ana winds, with dry heat sweeping through. Stay updated for potential weather shifts and take precautions against health risks. Baja California also faces incoming cold front.”

**Monitoring the Arrival of Santa Ana Winds in Tijuana**

This Wednesday, residents of Tijuana should brace themselves for a shift in weather as Santa Ana winds are expected to make their presence felt. The head of Tijuana’s Municipal Civil Protection, José Luis Jiménez, has reported that while significant rainfall is not anticipated, dry and hot winds will be sweeping through the city. Authorities will keep a close watch on weather forecasts over the next couple of days to stay updated on any changes.

Expect clear skies on Tuesday, with temperatures ranging from a low of 12 degrees Celsius to a high of 22 degrees Celsius. While the winds are currently limited to mountainous areas and valleys, by Wednesday, they are predicted to increase, accompanied by limited cloud cover and similar temperature ranges. By Thursday, clear skies should return, maintaining the same temperature range.

The official meteorological bulletin from the Civil Protection body highlights the transition to warm weather, with winds moving from the West to Southwest at speeds between 15 to 25 kilometers per hour. Partly sunny days with marine layers are also expected. These dry conditions can lead to respiratory illnesses, prompting an advisory particularly for the elderly and children to take care of their health. Additionally, residents are urged to refrain from burning garbage during the Santa Ana wind season.

**Additional Weather Update for Baja California**

In a recent development, the state’s Civil Protection has issued a warning about a cold front approaching Baja California. This suggests potential fluctuating weather patterns in the coming days. As the state experiences this transition, it’s prudent for residents to stay updated with official weather communications and prepare accordingly for possible weather extremes.

**Tijuana’s Infrastructure and Community Updates**

With the onset of the rainy season, Tijuana has ensured that 28 desanders are in optimal condition to manage potential rainwater flow efficiently. Meanwhile, local initiatives are underway to empower women to step into roles traditionally dominated by men, such as public transport operations, addressing user complaints about existing services.

In other local developments, efforts continue to solve the lack of basic staffing in educational institutions, while long-standing traditional practices, such as setting up altars to honor migrants who’ve lost their lives en route to the U.S., are being maintained. The city is also progressing in expanding access to alcohol permits by allowing them to be obtained at local delegation offices, making it more convenient for residents.
