Mexico’s National Meteorological Service (SMN) announced the formation of a low-pressure zone in the Atlantic Ocean, which is already monitored by this agency.
The meteorological phenomenon maintains a 10 percent probability of cyclonic development in the next 7 days.
On Sunday, May 26th, the low-pressure area was located approximately 1,375 kilometers east of the coast of Quintana Roo and was moving northeast over the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.
For now, this phenomenon does not represent a risk for the Yucatan Peninsula, although the authorities will be in charge of monitoring its evolution and announcing updates.
