Mexico City Under Yellow Alert for Heavy Rain and Hail

Mexico City is bracing for inclement weather as the Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) has activated a yellow alert for heavy rains and potential hail. The alert encompasses all 16 boroughs of the capital and is expected to be in effect from Sunday afternoon, June 7, until Monday morning, June 8, 2026.

Forecasters predict rainfall ranging from 15 to 29 millimeters, accompanied by the possibility of hail. This weather system poses risks of localized flooding and hazardous driving conditions. The SGIRPC is urging residents to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and minimize disruption.

Key recommendations for the public include carrying umbrellas or raincoats, avoiding the disposal of grease or trash into the drainage system, and ensuring that gutters and drains are kept clear of obstructions. Motorists are advised to drive with caution, as roads may be affected by water accumulation, fallen trees, or other debris. Additionally, people should stay away from structures, trees, power lines, and billboards that appear at risk of falling due to the severe weather.
