Mexico’s Intense Rains Continue as Priscilla Fans Coastal Downpours

Forecasters expect central Mexico to begin drying in late October.

Overview

  • Category 1 Hurricane Priscilla remains offshore but its outer bands are delivering heavy rain, wind gusts up to about 70 km/h, and elevated surf along western and southern coasts, according to SMN and CONAGUA.
  • SMN projects the seasonal rain regime will taper in the second half of October in central states, while the south and southeast could stay wetter into early or mid‑November.
  • Multiple low‑pressure channels and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific and the Caribbean are reinforcing cloudiness, showers and thunderstorms over wide areas of the country.
  • Monterrey’s Thursday forecast calls for a sustained rainy stretch with 60–70% chances of afternoon and nighttime storms, highs near 28°C and muggy conditions.
  • In Mexico City, authorities flagged cool, foggy high‑elevation pockets and urged precautions for urban flooding during a new rainy spell, as the broader 2025 season has brought widespread floods, landslides and infrastructure strain.
