Hot, dry weather in the forecast across Mexico

Hot and sunny weather is in the weather forecast for this week, bringing the first heat wave of the year to Mexico City. 

These weather conditions will be influenced by the circulation of wind in the middle levels of the atmosphere. A dry line over the northeast of the country will reduce humidity, while a low-pressure channel from the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea may create pockets of rain in some states.
