Heatwave continues in CDMX on April 30; up to 32°C and high UV index expected

Mexico City residents are bracing for another day of intense heat as the current heatwave shows no signs of abating. The forecast for Thursday, April 30, predicts a scorching afternoon with temperatures climbing to a high of 32 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a significant ultraviolet (UV) radiation index. Authorities are urging the public to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the extreme conditions.

The Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) has indicated that the hottest period will likely be between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM across most of the capital. This prolonged period of high temperatures, coupled with intense UV exposure, poses a health risk, especially for vulnerable populations. The city is also preparing for gusty winds, particularly in the northern, central, and eastern areas, with speeds potentially reaching up to 50 kilometers per hour between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

La temperatura máxima prevista en las próximas 24 horas alcanzará los 32° Celsius por la tarde, mientras que la mínima ascenderá a 16° Celsius.

Despite the challenging weather, the city is also celebrating Día del Niño (Children's Day) with various free events. However, the prevailing heatwave remains a dominant concern for many. The SGIRPC's warnings serve as a reminder of the importance of staying hydrated, seeking shade, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun. This persistent heat underscores the ongoing climate challenges faced by major urban centers like Mexico City, demanding constant vigilance and adaptation from its inhabitants.
