Mexico endures extreme heat and storm warnings across multiple regions
The Secretariat of Risk Management in Mexico City warned of strong thunderstorms, possible hail and wind gusts up to 45 km/h on July 13, with heavy rain that could cause flooding, reduced visibility and damage to trees and structures.
In the north‑western city of Mexicali, temperatures are expected to reach 47 °C with high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. Municipal protection officials urged residents to stay hydrated, avoid leaving people or pets in vehicles and to take precautions against lightning and strong winds. Health authorities reported five heat‑related deaths in the city.
Further south, the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional noted a high potential for tropical cyclone development off Guerrero, assigning a 90 % chance of cyclogenesis within a week. The same service forecast intense rainstorms and strong winds for Sinaloa, Durango, Nayarit, Michoacán, Guerrero and other western states, raising the risk of flash floods, landslides and hail.
Similar weather alerts were issued in Argentina, with a yellow rain warning for Neuquén and a dry, sunny forecast for Santiago del Estero, reflecting a broader pattern of unsettled conditions across the region.
