Rain reduces attendance at Monterrey Fan Fest, but fans remain

Rain and thunderstorms dampened attendance at the Monterrey Fan Fest on Saturday, though the event still welcomed national and international fans. Civil Protection of Nuevo León issued a forecast for rain, electrical storms, and strong winds, leading to a preventive alert.

The flow of visitors was noticeably lower than on previous days. The alert included wind gusts of up to 50 kilometers per hour and a 60% probability of rain in the metropolitan area. This weather context contributed to the reduced turnout.

Despite the challenging weather, the Fan Fest continued to host tourists from Japan, visitors from neighboring Mexican states, and families from local municipalities like Guadalupe, Apodaca, San Nicolás, Escobedo, and Santa Catarina. The meteorological forecast is linked to the interaction of a dry line with a low-pressure trough, creating unstable conditions in Monterrey and its surroundings. State authorities are monitoring the weather and advising the public to take precautions.
