Authorities in Mexico have issued various safety warnings related to seasonal weather changes and environmental risks. 

In Michoacán, heavy rains have led to an increase in snake sightings near homes and businesses, displacing species such as Masticophis mentovarius and Pituophis deppei into residential areas. In Coahuila, environmental authorities noted increased reptile activity during the ‘canícula’ (high-temperature season), including the capture of a non-native python in Saltillo.

Concurrently, the Secretariat of Government in Michoacán issued alerts regarding heavy rainfall, urging residents to prepare for potential flooding, water accumulation, and landslides. Civil Protection has advised citizens to prepare emergency kits, secure important documents in waterproof bags, and avoid crossing flooded streets or rivers.
