Humid air and trough will influence the climate in Yucatán
In this regard, the meteorologist Juan Antonio Palma Solíscoordinator of Meteored México, points out that tomorrow Thursday, Friday and Saturday some are expected minor rains in the Yucatán Peninsula due to the persistent entry of humid air from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
In addition, the daytime formation of the call will influence “Mayan valley”whose destabilizing effects will continue to be cushioned by the circulation of a anticyclonic system at middle levels of the troposphere.
The rest of the week, with isolated light rains
In this sense, he reports, in the next three days they will present Isolated to scattered light rains (less than 5 mm) from 1% to 30% of the territory of Yucatán, Campeche and Quintana Roo.
“Although the lack of rainfall will cause the daytime heat to persist at the regional level, the truth is that the maximum temperatures They are not being too high either thanks to the advance of autumn, and even a few weeks before reaching winter.”

Cool nights will continue in the Yucatan Peninsula
Furthermore, adds Palma Solís, it is important to highlight that the lack of cloud cover will continue to favor notable losses of heat energy at night, so that the minimum temperatures will remain in range from 18 to 24°C.
Expect high probability of fog banksespecially in the interior of the region, in locations surrounded by abundant vegetation.
“This is of interest to all those who, at this time, have activities on different roads in the country and could face notable reductions in visibility,” he warns.
Weather in the Yucatan Peninsula this weekend
Regarding the weather for the weekendPalma Solís indicates that starting Saturday night and Sunday the arrival of important moisture masslinked to a high altitude trough over the eastern portion of the Caribbean Sea.
For that reason the potential for rain would increase on Sunday and possibly the following week due to a possible interaction with a frontal system over the Gulf of Mexico.
“Obviously, there are still a few days left to confirm this, but it is important to keep up with all the updates in order to take precautions and prevent this type of event from taking us by surprise,” he concludes.
