A REfran is a phrase of popular origin even that is repeated invariably, through it you can express moral thoughts, advice or even teachings, having a structure based on verse and rhyme in consonance or consonance. Every year in February, the second month of the calendar, the saying is always mentioned Crazy February and a little Marchwhich finds its origin in meteorological problems.

February is the shortest month of the 12 that exist in the calendar, counting only 28 days, or 29 during leap years, which are all four. It is known for the winds that come in the first few days, in addition to sudden changes in the weather such as hailstorms includedperiods that can go from hot to cold and even tornadoes in certain territories.

Climate changes that occur in February and March are due to air mass combat that may occur in some areassince the cold fronts and their polar air masses encounter very warm air, which causes small anticyclones. All this is related to the change of season that occurs in the second month of the year, being the transition from winter to spring, which causes a thermal shock in Mexican territory.

This process is repeated every week, which is what gives it its name, since it is considered that the atmosphere becomes place, because it fails to maintain a constant temperature. This situation continues constantly until March, although at this time the heat already prevails, since it is the month when spring begins.

In the third month of the year, the fronts and their cold air masses begin to decrease in intensity, dominating the warm air, although the meetings of air masses appear, which prolongs the climate changes. The large temperature differences that occur during the two months cause marked pressure differences, which generate stronger winds.

In the Gulf of Mexico these days you can go from one in the surawith warm southerly winds reaching speeds of over 60 km/h, at north intensity greater than 100 km/h, which causes the air to cool. In the north of the country, there are strong differences in temperature and pressure which cause intense winds. This is associated with dry lines and intersecting winter storms.

sometimes andCold air remains stationary for several days over the territory give way to a period of extensive warm ambiance. The saying was created to inform people about changes in weather that may occur during the two months.

During March, the Spring Equinox, a natural phenomenon that occurs twice a year and in which during the day there are the same hours of sunshine as darkness at night. This is due to the position of the planet’s axis relative to the sunhim, being the moment that marks the beginning of spring.

After the equinox, the Sun begins its journey by crossing the celestial equator and remaining in a straight line with the Earth, which generates changes in Earth’s weather, presenting more hours of sunshine. In 2023, the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere will occur on March 20 at 9:24 p.m.
