The 2026–2027 cold front season in Mexico will begin in September. The National Water Commission (Conagua) reported that this season will bring 56 such systems, which is six more than the average.
This season will be marked by the presence of El Niño. The agency explained that this phenomenon will intensify toward the end of the year, reaching its peak intensity between October and December.
As a result, there is expected to be “a higher probability that air masses will move toward northern and central Mexico,” as well as an increase in humid conditions, as detailed in a press release.
Here’s what the 2026–2027 cold front season will look like in Mexico
In total, 56 cold fronts are forecast from September 2026 to May 2027. The months with the most cold fronts will be November, December, and January, with 8, 9, and 8 of these systems, respectively.
This is the forecast for cold fronts that was presented at a press conference:
- September 2026: 3 cold fronts
- October 2026: 7 cold fronts
- November 2026: 8 cold fronts
- December 2026: 9 cold fronts

- February 2027: 7 cold fronts
- March 2027: 6 cold fronts
- April 2027: 6 cold fronts
