The Yucatan Peninsula is currently experiencing an intense heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 45°C in recent days. This extreme weather has prompted local authorities to issue warnings and advice to residents in order to prevent heatstroke and dehydration.
Experts attribute this intense heatwave to a high-pressure system that has settled over the region, causing a significant spike in temperatures. The heatwave is expected to persist in the coming days. Consequently, residents are being advised to take necessary precautions such as staying well hydrated, avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, and refraining from outdoor activities during the peak heat hours.
In response to the extreme weather, local authorities have established temporary shelters in several municipalities, offering respite for those without access to a cool refuge. The heatwave is anticipated to continue until the high-pressure system dissipates. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the situation through official communication channels.
