The National Meteorological System forecasts mixed weather this Sunday, March 22, 2026, with heavy rains in the west, center, and south, alongside high temperatures in the north and Pacific regions. These conditions stem from a cyclonic circulation and moisture from the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico. Flooding risks are expected in some areas.
Mexico's first Sunday of spring, March 22, 2026, will bring a mix of weather conditions, according to the National Meteorological System (SMN) of the National Water Commission (Conagua). A cyclonic circulation aloft over the northeast, a trough inland, and moisture influx from the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico will cause rains and showers with possible electrical discharges in the west, center, south, and southeast. Conagua's announcement details the rain forecast for March 22, 2026: strong rains (25-50 mm) in Jalisco, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca; intervals of showers (5-25 mm) in Colima, Morelos, Estado de México, Ciudad de México, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Veracruz, and Chiapas; isolated rains (0.1-5 mm) in Nayarit, Zacatecas, Hidalgo, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo. These could lead to rising river levels, landslides, floods, and water pooling. Meanwhile, high temperatures from an anticyclonic circulation at mid-levels will impact southwest Chihuahua, northwest and southwest Durango, east Sinaloa, central Jalisco, center and south Guerrero, south and east Oaxaca, and all Sonora. Maximums of 40-45 °C in eastern Sonora; 35-40 °C in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, eastern Nuevo León, western Tamaulipas, northwest Durango, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Michoacán, Guerrero, Morelos, Oaxaca, and coastal Chiapas; 30-35 °C in San Luis Potosí, southern Zacatecas, Nayarit, Colima, southwest Puebla, Campeche, and Yucatán.
