MEXICO CITY, March 29 (Reuters) - Two of Mexico's three main oil exporting ports were closed on Sunday due to bad weather, the government said.

Dos Bocas port was closed for a second straight day and Cayo Arcas port was shuttered on Sunday morning, with both reporting high waves and strong winds.

Mexico's third main oil port, Coatzacoalcos, reopened after being closed on Saturday afternoon.

The three terminals handle the bulk of Mexico's crude exports to the United States. Severe delays to shipments can disrupt oil production as state oil company Pemex has limited storage capacity at its oil installations. (Reporting by Jason Lange)
