Overview

• Forecasters are tracking Depression Doce‑E off Jalisco with a high chance of intensifying into a tropical cyclone, boosting rain, 50–70 km/h gusts and 2.5–3.5 m surf along Jalisco, Colima and Michoacán.
• An active Mexican monsoon, tropical waves and a stationary front are driving intense rainfall from the northwest to the southeast, with Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosí among the hardest hit in forecasts.
• Mexico City activated orange alerts in Coyoacán, Iztacalco, Iztapalapa and Venustiano Carranza and yellow alerts in nine boroughs after morning downpours, with warnings for lightning, possible hail and mobility disruptions.
• The STC Metro said it would dispatch empty trains to transfer hubs and coordinate security deployments for the school commute to keep service moving during the rain.
• Authorities caution about urban flooding, landslides and rising rivers, as temperatures push above 45 °C in parts of Baja California and Sonora while highland areas see pre‑dawn lows near 0–5 °C.
