Overview

  • On Wednesday afternoon, SGIRPC placed Milpa Alta, Tlalpan and Xochimilco under Orange Alert and 13 additional boroughs under Yellow Alert for 15–49 mm of rain, lightning, possible hail and gusty winds.
  • Authorities escalated to Red Alert in Tlalpan late Tuesday with a 50–70 mm forecast and had earlier activated Red in Cuajimalpa, reflecting rapid, location-specific updates as storm cells shift.
  • Heavy downpours flooded areas of Ecatepec and Nezahualcóyotl, where water in some homes reached about 50 cm, and residents reported damage as cleanup and drainage requests continued.
  • A motorcyclist swept by floodwaters in San Miguel Topilejo, Tlalpan, was rescued by neighbors and evaluated by emergency medics; she was identified in local reports as Satnahi Ayala Acaputitla and taken to a nearby hospital.
  • SMN/Conagua is tracking two Pacific low-pressure zones for potential cyclonic development and projects strong to very strong rains across central and southern Mexico from Thursday to Saturday, keeping flood risk elevated.
