In the middle of March, a severe cold front hits several Mexican states.
The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) issued warnings as Frente Frío 39 swept across Mexico, bringing freezing temperatures, rain, and even snow in northern states.
Temperatures dropped to -10°C in high-altitude regions, while coastal areas experienced strong “Norte” winds.
The Comisión Nacional del Agua (Conagua) confirmed risks of flooding in Veracruz and Tamaulipas.
Authorities advised citizens to protect vulnerable populations, particularly children and the elderly, from hypothermia.
Schools in affected areas suspended classes, and shelters opened for those in need. The cold front underscores Mexico’s climatic diversity, with tropical zones simultaneously facing heavy rainfall.
