Meteorologist Natalia Sánchez said that rain will affect 60% to 70% [1] of Mexico this Sunday, July 12.
These widespread weather patterns could disrupt travel and outdoor activities across several major urban centers and the northeast region. The forecast indicates a period of instability that requires residents to take precautions against sudden storms.
In Mexico City, the forecast calls for afternoon storms with temperatures ranging between 13°C and 24°C [1]. Sánchez said the conditions are having "nubosidad densa y cambios inestables en México" [2].
Other regions face varying degrees of precipitation. Monterrey is expected to experience muggy weather with a 30% [1] probability of rain. Meanwhile, Guadalajara and the northeast of the country are expected to see occasional storms.
Sánchez said that a significant portion of the territory is under the influence of these systems, stating, "Precipitaciones: 60‑70 % del país bajo lluvia" [2]. The forecast emphasizes the likelihood of evening disruptions in the capital, where the temperature drop to 13°C [1] may coincide with the arrival of the rain.
The report aims to provide the public with necessary data to plan their day and mitigate risks associated with heavy rainfall, and lightning in the affected zones.
“Precipitaciones: 60‑70 % del país bajo lluvia”
The high percentage of precipitation across Mexico suggests a significant meteorological event affecting multiple climate zones simultaneously. When a majority of the country faces instability, it typically increases the risk of localized flooding in urban areas like Mexico City and Guadalajara, potentially straining municipal drainage systems during the peak of afternoon storms.
