Heat alerts hit Chihuahua, Juárez, Mexicali

State civil protection in Chihuahua has extended its preventive heat alert to a larger slate of municipalities—including Chínipas, Janos, Camargo, Delicias, Temósachic, Jiménez, Parral, Cuauhtémoc, Madera, Guachochi, Bocoyna and Balleza—while reaffirming warnings for Juárez, Ojinaga and Chihuahua City. Forecasts call for maximum temperatures near 40 °C across the region, with Ciudad Juárez expected to reach 42 °C, humidity dropping to about 27 %, and only a slight chance of isolated showers. Authorities continue to urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., protect children, the elderly and those with health conditions, and use the 24‑hour 9‑1‑1 emergency line for heat‑related incidents. In Mexicali, temperatures have topped 50 °C; a temporary hydration station at Parque del Mariachi serves over 50 people daily, and health officials have recorded ten heat‑related deaths this season, warning of heat‑stroke symptoms. The alerts build on earlier July 2026 warnings, maintaining public‑health advisories and water‑conservation measures amid the ongoing extreme‑heat wave.
