In an earlier post, we looked at how many nortes were forecast for the 2014-2015 winter season. The Mexican National Weather Service (Servico Meteorologico Nacional, SMN) released its original forecast back in September 2014. An updated forecast (on January 7, 2015) is now available. The graphic is below.
The total number expected has dropped from 55 to 53 nortes, but this is still just about normal. So when the next norte comes, enjoy the cooler and less humid weather it brings, it will be back to hot and humid in a few days!
