How long will the rainy spell last in Mexico City?
The special advisory will remain in effect until Saturday, October 10. During these days, episodes of heavy to very heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and wind are expected, so conditions may vary depending on the area and the day.
As part of the weather conditions, specific forecasts have also warned of possible hail. Furthermore, rain alerts have been issued for various boroughs in the capital, so it is important to distinguish these daily alerts from the special advisory covering nearly the entire week.
What does Civil Protection say?
Civil Protection recommends removing trash from drains to prevent them from becoming clogged and causing water to pool.
It also advises against crossing streets or avenues where there are streams of water, as well as seeking shelter under trees or structures during storms due to wind gusts and lightning.
For those who need to travel during these days, the recommendation is to bring an umbrella or raincoat and stay tuned for official advisories, as the forecast may be updated as the storm progresses.
