The heat wave that Mexico registers will cause temperatures ranging from 40 to 45 degrees Celsius in states such as Campeche, Chiapas, Guerrero, Michoacán, Morelos, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatan, so authorities recommended that the population avoid prolonged exposure to the sun's radiation, so it will be good idea to take out sunscreens in addition to moisturizing properly.
This wave will also cause the thermometer to oscillate between 35 and 40 degrees in Colima, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nayari t, north and southwest of Puebla, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, and southwestern Mexico State.
The heat will also be present in Mexico City, Aguascalientes, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Sonora and Zacatecas, where they will have to withstand from 30 to 35 degrees.
Faced with the ravages that can be generated by intense heat, health authorities recommend that citizens pay special attention to chronically ill people, children and older adults. Faced with this situation, the population will be able to resort to refreshing drinks to mitigate the discomfort a little.
But it is not all bad news for the population, as a new cold front that will approach the northern border will lead to strong winds in states in the north and northeast of the country.
In addition to health risks, another consequence of high temperatures is forest fires that spread throughout the country, as it should be remembered that in March the National Forestry Commission reported significant accidents such as the one that occurred in the Spring Forest in Jalisco and that of the Tepozteco hill in Morelos.
Another area heavily affected by the fires was the Sierra de Santiago in Nuevo León, where the fire raged for almost a week and destroyed at least 1,200 hectares of forest.
High temperatures favor the spread of fires, which in most cases are caused by human actions, as was the case with Tepozteco, in Morelos, where the error cost the devastation of 145 hectares. For this reason, the protected area will be closed to tourists and residents for two months as a preventive measure.
The National Weather Service (SMN) stated that from October 1, 2021 to March 27, 2022 it rained 20.7% less than the historical average for that same period.
According to the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate Change of UNAM, some Mexican states will face drought problems due to the phenomenon “La Niña”.
This climate phenomenon causes a lot of evaporation and few clouds, while causing radiation to enter Mexico directly. This decreases the chance of rain.
Earlier this week, the National Water Commission (Conagua) warned that the amount of water available in the reservoirs has declined rapidly, noting that of the country's 210 main dams, only four are at 100% capacity and warned that almost twenty are below 50%.
One of the states that suffers the most, not only because of high temperatures, but also because of the lack of water is Nuevo León, where the metropolitan area of Monterrey where the reserves of the liquid are at critical levels. Another entity facing a similar problem is Jalisco, where authorities are demanding additional resources to carry out works to bring water to Guadalajara and the surrounding municipalities.
