I like that better lol

How often this Tehuano winds occur in these dates ? Cc @RicardoBlanco

@RicardoBlanco It happens pretty often

@RicardoBlanco Thanks 🙏

And president Lopez Obrador despised any project related to eolic energy in the Tehuantepec region only because the "wind fans" looked bad (and because his political archenemy encouraged eolic energy generation during his government).

¿Cómo ves @InfoMeteoro?

Cold fronts wind gusts from the Gulf intensify as they cross Central America. Gusts in Salina Cruz (Oax) typically exceed Veracruz +75kph reaching 100kph+ This wind acceleration also hits Guatemala’s volcano valleys, the GT/El Salvador border, and the Nicaragua-Guanacaste CR gap
