### Tijuana Braces for Scorching Temperatures Near 40 Degrees
Residents of Tijuana should prepare for a significant rise in temperatures, with forecasts indicating the mercury will approach 40 degrees Celsius over the coming days.
Beginning this Wednesday, temperatures are expected to see a gradual increase, peaking on Thursday and Friday with highs of 34 and 36 degrees, respectively, and a real feel of up to 38 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature on September 4th is forecasted to reach 33 degrees, with wind gusts of up to 20 kilometers per hour.
Miguel Ángel Ceballos Ramírez, Director of Civil Protection, attributes the increase to high-pressure systems moving into the area, predicting elevated temperatures from September 3rd through Saturday.
The Civil Protection Department advises residents to wear loose, light-colored clothing, stay hydrated, particularly keeping an eye on children and the elderly, and be vigilant about symptoms of heat stroke. For those who must work outdoors, taking breaks in the shade is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Ceballos Ramírez also noted that these temperatures are typical for this time of year, with relief expected towards the end of September. He added that while September usually remains warm, past years have seen exceptions with occasional storms fueled by Pacific moisture or remnants of southeastern Mexican hurricanes.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated via digital channels and heed the recommendations provided to avoid heat-related health issues.
