Unusual weather ahead in these Mexican regions on July 28, as SMN issues severe weather warnings
In the absence of specific information about heavy rains and extreme weather conditions in Mexican states on July 28, 2020, it is necessary to turn to historical archives from official Mexican meteorological sources like Servicio Meteorológico Nacional or regional weather stations archives for data on weather warnings or heavy rain alerts.
Coastal states along the Pacific and Gulf coasts, such as Baja California Sur, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas, are typically at risk during the summer tropical storm season. However, without precise reports for July 28, 2020, it is unclear which states were affected.
The Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea are contributing to increased humidity, enhancing the likelihood of rain. A high-level trough and tropical wave number 16 will cross the Yucatan Peninsula, bringing more humidity and rain to that area.
The heatwave will continue in several areas of the country, especially in parts of Baja California, Baja California Sur, the west and south of Sonora, the north of Sinaloa, and the north of Nayarit. Extremely high temperatures, exceeding 45 degrees Celsius, are expected in the northeast of Baja California, the west of Baja California Sur, and the northwest of Sonora.
Other areas such as southern Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, the north of Hidalgo, the north and southwest of Puebla, Morelos, and Quintana Roo will have a warm climate, with temperatures oscillating between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius.
Southern Veracruz and northern Oaxaca can expect heavy rains with accumulations of between 75 and 150 millimeters on Monday. Strong rains (25 to 50 mm) are expected in areas of Sonora, the State of Mexico, Guerrero, and Tabasco. Intense heat, between 40 and 45 degrees, is expected in states such as Sinaloa, the north of Nayarit, and the south of Oaxaca.
Heavy rains, extremely high temperatures, and strong winds are expected in several areas of Mexico on Monday. A hot environment, with temperatures of 35 to 40 degrees, is expected in regions of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Durango, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, Chiapas, Tamaulipas, Tabasco, Campeche, and Yucatan.
Very heavy rainfall, from 50 to 75 millimeters, is expected in states such as Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Puebla, Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo. Shower activity with accumulations of 5 to 25 mm is possible in entities such as Baja California Sur, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Tlaxcala, Morelos, and Mexico City.
These rains could be accompanied by electrical activity, intense wind gusts, and possible hail. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has issued a forecast warning of severe weather conditions for Monday. The extreme weather expected in several parts of Mexico on Monday is caused by several natural phenomena, including the Mexican monsoon and low-pressure zones.
Given the vagaries of the weather in Mexico, a weather-forecasting strategy might prove beneficial for the upcoming days, as the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea forecast increased humidity and potential rain on July 28, 2020. As specific reports for this date are lacking, historical data from Servicio Meteorológico Nacional or regional weather stations archives could provide valuable insights into potential weather-related risks in coastal states like Baja California Sur, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas.
