Mexico faces extreme heat and heavy rainfall across multiple states
Mexico is experiencing a simultaneous weather crisis characterized by heavy rainfall and extreme heat. The Mexican monsoon and tropical wave 25 are driving intense precipitation across numerous states, including Nayarit, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Michoacán, Estado de México, Veracruz, and Oaxaca.
In Mexico City, severe storms have already caused flooding, river overflows in La Magdalena Contreras, and electrical issues. The Metro system implemented safety speed measures on several lines, and local authorities issued alerts for multiple boroughs.
Concurrently, a heatwave is impacting the northern regions. Temperatures are expected to exceed 45 °C in Baja California and Sonora, with high temperatures between 40 and 45 °C forecast for states like Chihuahua, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Civil protection agencies have urged the population to take precautions against heatstroke, landslides, and flooding.
