Mexico's National Water Commission (Conagua) has identified two areas of low pressure in the Pacific Ocean, each with a significant chance of developing into cyclones. The first system is forming off the southern coast, affecting Colima, Guerrero, Jalisco, and Michoacรกn, with a 30% probability of cyclone development over the next week. The second, located southwest of the Baja California peninsula, has a higher 50% chance of developing into a cyclone within the same timeframe.
These formations are associated with cloudiness and showers, according to the National Meteorological Service's technical glossary. The agency, part of the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), provided details on the affected states and the likelihood of cyclone development via social media. The alert comes as Mexico monitors its Pacific coast for potential storm activity.
