The National Civil Protection Coordination warned that two low-pressure areas with the possibility of becoming tropical cyclones will cause the first rains of the 2021 Hurricane Season to reach Mexico.
A tropical cyclone is the term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters, anywhere in the world, and has closed, low-level circulation.
The climate agency explained that these events are located very close to the Mexican coast. The first of them is located in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, just 160 kilometers from Oaxaca. Its center will “slowly border the coasts of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero, and Michoacán, with the possibility of landfall”. The second storm is moving through the Gulf of Mexico, about 195 kilometers from Veracruz.
Due to its wide circulation and its proximity to the coast, both areas will cause torrential rainfall. In addition, they will reinforce the influx of humidity in Mexico, and “in combination with a low-pressure channel, and with higher atmospheric instability, they will generate heavy rains at intense points . . .
