More sargassum will arrive on Mexico's Caribbean coast in July

An increase in sargassum seaweed is expected to hit the Mexican Caribbean coasts in July 2025, following a slight decrease in June. This poses a threat to tourism and coastal ecosystems. Researchers from the University of South Florida and NASA predict the surge based on satellite imagery and oceanographic analysis. The total volume of sargassum in the tropical Atlantic remains high, with the seaweed moving through the Yucatan Channel. Authorities are maintaining cleaning and monitoring efforts in tourist destinations like Cancun. The sargassum's behavior is influenced by local factors, making precise forecasts difficult.
