What is a cold front?
He cold front It is the front part of a polar air mass, which causes a drop in temperature in the area through which it passes.
This is formed when a cold air mass collides with a mass of hot air, because being denser, the cold air gets like a wedge under the hot air, which generates movement and causes instability in the atmosphere of that area.
During this phenomenon, drops in temperature, frost, intense winds, strong waves, abundant cloudiness and drizzle.
Most of the cold fronts that affect our country, originate near the north pole. After crossing the United States of America, they cross the national territory, from the northwest to the southeast and depending on the time of year and their geographical location, they can last from three to seven days.
the season of cold fronts in Mexico it goes from September to May, although in our territory its frequency is highly variable, as is its duration, but on average around 58 a year are recorded, most within the winter season.
In the period from November to March, the fronts cross the Mexican territory in the Isthmus and receive the name of Tehuantepecos, strong winds that cause thermal anomalies in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. When the polar masses cross the Gulf of Mexico, they give rise to the phenomena known as nortes.
After the passage of cold frontmost likely it will rain, the humidity and temperature decrease and the wind blows more strongly from the north to the south, a little later the sky begins to clear, but that is when the new mass of icy air settles and dry, which causes a further decrease in temperature.
Recommendations for cold fronts
These are the measures that can be taken to avoid the cold:
1- Get vaccinated against influenza before the winter season.
2- Cover nose and mouth, to avoid direct exposure to environmental contaminants.
3- Wear at least three layers of clothing, preferably cotton or wool.

10- If stoves are used to heat rooms, they must be placed in ventilated places and turned off before sleeping.
11- The boiler and gas installations must be outside the home to avoid leakage.
12- Carry out maintenance in gas installations to avoid the presence of rust that prevents proper combustion and/or leaks.
13- Check that the flame emitted by the stove or boiler is blue and not red.
14- Keep the kitchen ventilated.
