Heavy rains and extreme heat sweep Mexico as monsoon and Tropical Wave 22 hit

Mexican monsoon Tropical Wave 22 heavy rain extreme heat flood risk

The Mexican monsoon interacting with Tropical Wave 22 is producing intense rain, thunderstorms and possible hail across much of the country. Strong convective activity is expected in the northwest (Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja California and surrounding states) with wind gusts of up to 50 km/h, while the wave brings heavy showers to the southeast, including Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas. Rainfall totals of 50‑75 mm are forecast for several states such as Sonora, Jalisco, Oaxaca and Chiapas, and isolated amounts could reach 150 mm in the Gulf of Tehuantepec region. Temperatures above 45 °C are predicted in the northern and north‑western states, with the hottest areas hitting 40‑45 °C in the Yucatán Peninsula. Authorities have issued flood, landslide and flash‑flood warnings, urging residents to stay hydrated, limit sun exposure, avoid crossing swollen streams and heed local alerts. The Service Meteorológico Nacional and civil‑protection agencies stress that the combination of heat and heavy rain could cause road closures, power disruptions and damage to low‑lying structures.
