Flossie, the storm that was late to her own party
There goes Tropical Storm Flossie, weakening like a deflated balloon southwest of Baja California, but not before leaving its signature of showers and winds that seem straight out of a giant hair dryer. Because, of course, what would Mexico be without a little weather drama? The Pacific coasts continue to receive waves of up to 2.5 meters, perfect for surfing… if you don’t mind ending up in another postcard code.
The country is divided in two: floods vs. sauna
While the northwest, north and Yucatan Peninsula are roasting at 45 °C (yes, the same heat you feel when you open the oven without a glove), the rest of the national territory seems to compete for the award for “best apocalyptic scenario”. A low pressure channel moves as if it were an influencer through the Northern and Central Table, delivering heavy rain, thunderstorms and hail the size of marbles. Who needs Netflix when you have this show for free?
And if that were not enough, tropical wave number 8 (yes, we have already lost count too) is approaching Chiapas and Oaxaca, accompanied by a low pressure area that could become the next protagonist of this climate soap opera. Spoiler alert: more torrential rain and risk of landslides. Because nothing unites a family like evacuating together.
The forecast by state: choose your own adventure
Baja California Sur: Winds of 60 km/h ideal for flying kites… or yourself. Sonora and Sinaloa offer a combo of infernal heat and isolated rains, because what is life without contradictions? In Chiapas and Oaxaca, the rains are so intense that even the fish ask for umbrellas. Meanwhile, the Pensión de Yucatán (I mean, peninsula) combines tropical showers with temperatures that would melt even a vampire.
In the Valley of Mexico, flooding and hail are the perfect excuse to work from home (or to blame the weather for your late arrival). And in the northeast, isolated storms are like those friends that appear without warning: uncomfortable, but inevitable.
The authorities, in their eternal role as spoilsport, insist on “extreme precautions”. Translation: If you live in an area where water rises faster than Bitcoin, you better have an inflatable boat on hand. And don’t forget to follow the warnings of the Meteorological Service, because guessing the weather with chicken bones is no longer so reliable.
