Mexico City residents are advised to prepare for significant weather changes on Tuesday, June 2, as the capital anticipates strong afternoon thunderstorms. The Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) forecasts a warm day with partly cloudy skies, transitioning to increased cloud cover in the afternoon.

These developing clouds are expected to bring scattered showers and potentially heavy downpours, accompanied by the possibility of hail and electrical activity. The most intense rainfall is predicted for the western and southern parts of the city, likely occurring between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

In addition to the storms, the weather forecast indicates a maximum temperature of 27ยฐ Celsius and a minimum of 16ยฐ Celsius over the next 24 hours. This volatile weather pattern follows a recent incident where one death was confirmed following floods in Huixquilucan, Edomex, where a person was trapped in a parking lot.
