¿Habrá viento fuerte en CDMX?

In addition to the rain, wind gusts of up to 50 km/h are expected in Mexico City.

The SMN notes that winds equal to or greater than 50 km/h can cause trees and advertising signs to fall, so it recommends paying attention to meteorological warnings and Civil Protection instructions.

The rains may also be accompanied by electrical discharges and hail. Heavy to intense rainfall in different regions of the country could cause flooding, landslides, and the overflowing of rivers or streams.

¿Por qué lloverá en CDMX esta semana?

The national forecast indicates that the rainy conditions will be associated with the interaction of the Mexican monsoon, atmospheric instability, low-pressure channels, and cyclonic circulations in the upper levels of the atmosphere.

In Mexico City, these conditions will mainly favor rain during the afternoons.

Additionally, the SMN is monitoring a low-pressure zone in the Atlantic Ocean, located approximately 6,000 kilometers east-southeast of the coast of Quintana Roo, with a 30% probability of cyclonic development over the next 48 hours.

For now, this system is very far from the capital, and the specific forecast for CDMX maintains the potential for rain during the afternoons as the primary weather condition.
