Be Prepared: Strong Winds and Heavy Rain Expected in Los Cabos

It seems like a weather system, likely named Simon, is bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Baja California Sur (BCS), including Los Cabos. As an expat based in Los Cabos since 2021, this news is particularly relevant for anyone living or visiting the area. Let’s explore what this means for us and how to prepare.

The local authorities have issued a warning for strong winds and heavy rain due to the effects of the weather system.
