Tehuano

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec, divided by the Sierra Madre mountains, is the lowest landform between Mexico and Central America, and a predominant wind passage between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The warm and humid air of the south hits the cold and dry air of the north, causing severe differences in pressure and force; Hurricane winds are born and rush through the passage to the Pacific Ocean: these are the winds of Tehuano.
