Severe weather impacts Mexico and Bolivia with storms and flood risks
Severe weather patterns are impacting multiple regions in Mexico and Bolivia. In Mexico, the combination of the Mexican monsoon, tropical wave number 36, and Hurricane Marie (Category 2) is driving significant meteorological risks. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has forecasted intense rainfall in Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Tabasco. The monsoon is also expected to bring heavy rains, electrical storms, and wind to Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, and Nayarit. Additionally, Hurricane Marie is moving southwest of the Baja California Sur coast, causing high waves and strong winds along the peninsula. High temperatures are also expected, with some areas in northern Mexico potentially reaching 45°C.
In Bolivia, the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (Senamhi) has issued an orange alert due to the risk of river overflows. The alert covers the departments of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and La Paz, specifically targeting several river basins including the Ichilo, Yapacaní, Piraí, Beni, and Chapare. Local authorities have advised nearby populations to take precautions against rising water levels.
