Guadalajara heavy rain outbreaks

Entities: Jalisco · Servicio Meteorológico Nacional · Guadalajara · tropical wave 25 · Zapopan

Overview

Mid‑July 2026 saw moderate rain and thunderstorms across the Guadalajara metropolitan area, prompting civil‑protection alerts about flash‑flood risk and advice for drivers to reduce speed. The national weather service forecast continued cloud cover and light showers for the following days.

By early August, a stronger system linked to tropical wave 25 produced a severe rainstorm with hail, gusty winds and heavier precipitation. The storm caused reduced visibility, traffic slow‑downs and localized flooding in several municipalities. Authorities warned of flash floods, rising river levels and further hail, forecasting rain accumulations of up to 150 mm and wind gusts of 30–50 km/h.

The two reports illustrate a progression from moderate, forecast‑driven rain in July to a more intense, hail‑laden storm in August, both affecting the same region and prompting repeated safety warnings.
