Mexico forecast warns of heavy rain and cold weather in several regions

Mexico’s National Meteorological Service forecast heavy rain across the northeast, east and southeast on Tuesday.

The strongest rainfall is expected in central and southern Quintana Roo, where totals could reach 50 to 75 millimetres.

Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Campeche and Yucatán are also forecast to get heavy rain, which may bring lightning.

Mexico City’s civil protection agency warned of afternoon showers and rain in some areas and urged people to take care.

A cold air mass linked to cold front 4 is expected to bring fog and reduced visibility in the northeast, while temperatures in parts of Chihuahua and Durango could fall to between minus 5 and 0 degrees Celsius, with frost.

The forecast matters because rain, lightning, fog and cold can affect travel and daily activities; the agencies advised people to take precautions as these conditions continue Tuesday.
