Temperatures plummeted in Jalisco and across much of Mexico this week as an arctic air mass strangled the northern and central regions of the country.
The lowest temperature in Jalisco – 0.5 degrees Celsius – was registered Tuesday near Lagos de Moreno in the farming region known as Los Altos.
As dawn approached on Wednesday, the mercury dipped below 4 degrees Celsius in several municipalities, including Mezquitic, Colotlan, Teocaltiche, Jalostotitlan and Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos.
The lowest temperature recorded in Guadalajara was 5 degrees Celsius in the Colomos Park, although most parts of the metro area hovered between 7 and 8 degrees.
The effects of the cold air mass were felt more harshly elsewhere in Mexico. A reading of minus 9 degrees Celsius was registered in the municipality of Delicias in the state of Chihuahua.
