Heavy rainfall and weather risks in Puebla

Overview

Heavy rainfall and weather forecasts prompted the Secretariat of Public Education in Puebla to suspend all school activities across 173 municipalities on October 2, 2026. The suspension affected multiple regions, including Sierra Norte and Mixteca, due to anticipated intense winds, electrical activity, and heavy rain.

Following these events, researchers from the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla warned that October could become the rainiest month of the season. Experts highlighted increased risks of flooding and landslides in urban areas and near slopes due to soil saturation. Authorities and researchers also advised residents on safety measures, such as cleaning sewers and ensuring proper home ventilation to prevent accidents related to indoor heating.
