The Yucatán Peninsula is surrounded by Category 1 Hurricane John and Tropical Cyclone 9, which will generate torrential rains in the region, especially affecting southeastern Mexico.
Although there are no alerts or risks for Campeche from the meteorological phenomena monitored by the National Water Commission in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the forecast for the week is for intense to torrential rains in the state. This is according to information from the National Meteorological Service (SMN).
The estimate is due to the effects of the interaction of the monsoon trough with two meteorological phenomena in the southern Mexican Pacific and Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 in the northwest Caribbean Sea. John, now a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, is off the coasts of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Its wide circulation will generate intense to extraordinary rains in southern and southeastern Mexico, in addition to increasing the probability of strong to very strong rains in the east and center of the country. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center will confirm the formation of Tropical Depression 9 in the Caribbean. Despite this, high temperatures will also continue.
Therefore, the main rain alerts are focused on municipalities with territorial borders with other states, such as the regions of Calkiní with the state of Yucatán, as well as Calakmul and Hopelchén, which border the state of Quintana Roo.
Regarding the rain forecasts between September 23 and 27 of this year, these will vary over the following days. At the beginning of the week, they will range from very strong rains with intense points between 75 to 150 millimeters per square meter.
Then, the rain alerts will shift to intense rains with torrential points between 150 to 250 millimeters per square meter on Tuesday or Wednesday. The rest of the week will see very strong rains with intense points of 75 to 150 millimeters per square meter.
