Table of Contents
Two low-pressure systems in the Pacific Ocean could develop into tropical cyclones, bringing heavy rains and high waves to several states.
Authorities are closely monitoring the formation of two low-pressure areas in the Pacific Ocean, both with a high probability of developing into tropical cyclones.One is located off the coast of Oaxaca, and the other is near Baja California Sur.
The low-pressure system off Oaxaca is expected to bring very strong rains and high waves for four days, impacting states including Oaxaca and Chiapas.
low-Pressure Zones Could Become Tropical Cyclones
The first Low pressure zone It is indeed located to 580 km south of Huatulcoin Oaxacaand already presents a 40% probability of cyclonic development in 48 hours
The first low-pressure zone is located 580 km south of Huatulco in Oaxaca, with a 40% probability of cyclonic development within 48 hours and an 80% probability within the next 7 days. It is moving west and could become a tropical cyclone over the weekend,affecting the coasts of Guerrero and Michoacán.
the second low-pressure area is located off Baja California and has a 30% probability of developing into a cyclone in the next seven days.
Intense Rains Expected from Tropical Wave and Low-Pressure Areas
Tropical wave 2, combined with low-pressure channels, is generating intense cloudiness and strong rains across much of the country.
The moast intense rainfall is expected in:
- Chiapas
- Oaxaca
- Guerrero
- Michoacán
- Colima
- Jalisco
Strong rains are also forecast for the Yucatan Peninsula, with moderate to intense rainfall in the north and west of the country.
The formation of whirlwinds is absolutely possible in northern Coahuila and northeastern Chihuahua, along with dust storms in the north, northwest, and west.
Swells are expected to remain elevated, between 2 and 3 meters, on the Pacific coast from Baja California Sur to Chiapas, including Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca.
Authorities are monitoring both low-pressure areas and urging the public to stay informed through official sources.

- A tropical wave is a trough of low pressure that moves westward across the tropics. When combined with low-pressure channels, it can generate intense cloudiness and strong rains.
- What should residents do to prepare for potential cyclones?
- Residents should stay informed through official sources, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to take necessary precautions, such as securing property and having an emergency plan in place.
