Mexico weather: Cold Front 2 causes flooding and high winds
Cold Front 2 and tropical storm Simon are causing widespread weather instability across Mexico, leading to heavy rainfall, high winds, and low temperatures in several states.
In Veracruz, the government is coordinating emergency responses across 32 municipalities. Preliminary reports indicate 97 fallen trees, 19 poles, seven landslides, and two sinkholes. In Xalapa, Mayor Daniela Griego reported 39 fallen trees across 28 neighborhoods, though no injuries have been recorded. In Coatzacoalcos, Mayor Pedro Miguel Rosaldo García is overseeing shelters for those affected by flooding and wind.
In Chihuahua, authorities warn of low temperatures and potential rain, with wind gusts expected to exceed 55 km/h in the northwest. In Oaxaca, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is bracing for wind gusts between 60 and 80 km/h and waves reaching three meters in height. Meanwhile, Hidalgo has issued warnings for rainfall between 50 and 75 mm and minimum temperatures dropping as low as 0 degrees Celsius.
