Mexico Braces for Tropical Storms Barbara and Cosme

Tropical Storms Barbara and Cosme Threaten Mexico: Heavy Rains and Strong Winds Expected Mexico City, June 6, 2025 – Tropical storms Barbara and Cosme are poised to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to three Mexican states, according to a report from the National Water Commission (CONAGUA). CONAGUA issued a warning on June 5th, stating that a low-pressure zone has a 40% chance of developing into a cyclone within 48 hours and an 80% chance within seven days. The low-pressure system is currently located 575 kilometers south of Bahia de Guatulco, Oaxaca, and is moving northwest. This trajectory puts Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas at significant risk. Meteorologists warn of intense rainfall and strong winds, potentially causing disruptions and damage. "We urge citizens in the affected areas to take necessary precautions and stay informed about weather updates," stated a CONAGUA spokesperson. The commission is actively monitoring the situation and will provide timely updates to the public. While the potential for significant damage exists, the early warning system allows for preparedness and mitigation efforts. CONAGUA's proactive reporting underscores the importance of reliable weather forecasting in protecting communities from the impact of tropical storms.
