Mexico 2026 hurricane season preparedness

Entities: Conagua · Baja California Peninsula · Pacific Ocean · Tropical Storm Hernán · Mexico

Overview

The 2026 hurricane season continues to drive coordinated preparedness across Mexican states.

In Los Cabos, civil‑protection officials keep round‑the‑clock surveillance on two Pacific low‑pressure systems, with one showing a 30 % chance of development rising to 90 % within a week.

In Michoacán, reservoir levels average 64 % capacity; the state inaugurated an Inter‑Institutional Command Post to issue real‑time mobile alerts and monitor river levels, and has reported only minor water ingress and no casualties.

Quintana Roo’s governor Mara Lezama inspected anti‑cyclone shelters, reinforced evacuation routes and, together with UNICEF, launched a “Zero Tolerance: Red Card” campaign to prevent child sexual exploitation during the World Cup.

Municipalities such as Benito Juárez prepared 82 temporary shelters for over 19 000 people, including a pet shelter, while Campeche’s 13 municipalities received a checklist to strengthen drainage and shelter readiness after recent floods affected more than 100 families.

The National Defense Secretariat placed 260 army and guard personnel on standby in Quintana Roo, and Tamaulipas’ mayor cleared over half of a 19‑km drainage network.

On July 1, Tamaulipas installed an interinstitutional command post and unveiled the “Clima Tamaulipas” monitoring platform with 20 stations.

Conagua is tracking several low‑pressure areas: a 40 % chance of tropical cyclone Elida affecting Colima, Oaxaca, Michoacán and Guerrero; a similar threat over the Michoacán coast; and a 20 % chance of Tropical Storm Hernán off Baja California, with another disturbance near Jalisco‑Colima‑Michoacán that could bring showers to high‑altitude regions.
