Atlantic Low-Pressure Zone Under Watch Near Quintana Roo

QUINTANA ROO — Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa reported that authorities are maintaining surveillance over a potential low-pressure zone in the Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of Africa, which currently has a 20 percent probability of cyclonic development over the next seven days. The governor called on the public to follow only official channels to avoid rumors and to remain prepared.

This advisory comes within the framework of the current Atlantic hurricane season, prompting Civil Protection authorities to insist on the importance of paying attention to meteorological reports and taking precautions. The area under monitoring does not currently represent a direct risk to Quintana Roo; however, prevention is key given the possibility that it could develop in the coming days.
