DO NOT SAIL OR VOYAGE the Sea of Cortez if you cannot handle extreme weather conditions or can otherwise delay your travel until conditions improve.

The Sea of Cortez is at or above 32degC. In present conditions, even a small local low pressure system can lead to a severe thunderstorm outbreak.

Conditions are extreme and unpredictable.

Safe navigation is not reliably possible except in very high pressure conditions and only if local conditions cannot otherwise permit storm formation.

Do not take this warning lightly. People will die due to these conditions.
