Cold front number 13 impacts several Mexican states with rains, low temperatures, and strong winds, leading to class suspensions and alerts in Mexico City. Civil protection authorities monitor rivers and conduct preventive evacuations in vulnerable areas. Frost is expected in mountainous regions and possible snow on volcano peaks.
Cold front 13, advancing over southeastern Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula, interacts with a polar trough and generates adverse conditions across much of the country, according to the National Meteorological Service. In Hidalgo, Veracruz, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Tlaxcala, rains, wind gusts, and temperature drops are reported, with operations by the National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC) and missions from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), led by Omar García Harfuch.
In Hidalgo, classes were suspended in 34 municipalities as a precaution; the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) repaired power outages in Juárez and Eloxochitlán, and the Infrastructure Secretariat controlled a landslide in Tianguistengo. The National Defense Secretariat (Sedena) evacuated communities in Huehuetla due to landslide risks. Veracruz reports moderate rains and strong winds on the southern coast, such as in Coatzacoalcos and Minatitlán, with river monitoring. In Puebla, light rains in the northeastern sierra, like Teziutlán, prompted class suspensions and a temporary DIF state shelter.
Oaxaca faces winds up to 110 km/h in the Mixteca and Flores Magón Sierra, causing fallen trees and poles, with power cuts in Santa María Yucuhiti and Huautla de Jiménez, but no injuries. Alerts for 3-meter waves in the Tehuantepec Gulf. In Tlaxcala, temperatures near 0°C in Atlangatepec and 2-3°C in other municipalities; schools adjusted schedules, and warm clothing is recommended.
In Mexico City, an orange alert was activated for boroughs like Álvaro Obregón and Tlalpan (1-3°C from 4:00 PM on the 10th to 9:00 AM on the 11th) and yellow for Coyoacán and Iztapalapa (4-6°C early morning of the 11th). Nationally, frosts of -15°C in Durango highlands and up to -5°C in Hidalgo, Puebla, and Veracruz; possible snow on Pico de Orizaba and Cofre de Perote. Torrential rains in Veracruz and Oaxaca, with winds of 90-110 km/h on coasts.
