The National Water Commission (CONAGUA) reported at a press conference that Tropical Wave 6, currently developing off the coast of Quintana Roo and moving towards the Yucatán Peninsula, has only a 30% chance of becoming a cyclone. This data dispels the possibility of a tropical storm or hurricane reaching the region.
The low-pressure system is moving quickly, making it difficult for it to intensify into a cyclone. Currently, it is responsible for clouds and rain in several states, including Campeche, Chiapas, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and Yucatán.
“The probability of the system identifying as a cyclone is 30%. With its speed, it’s hard for it to intensify. However, what’s important to consider are the torrential rains it may cause,” explained Margarita Méndez Girón, General Coordinator of the National Meteorological Service (SMN).
Possible Scenarios and Warnings
Méndez Girón added that although some weather forecast models indicate a possibility that the low-pressure system could convert into tropical, any change will be notified officially by the authorities correspond.
