Rain threatens Mexico vs. England match; Yellow Alert issued for all of Mexico City

Mexico City is bracing for heavy rainfall and potential hail on Sunday, July 5, as the Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) has issued a Yellow Alert for all districts.

The forecast predicts strong showers and possible hail from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with rainfall intensity estimated between 15 and 29 kilometers per hour. The SGIRPC is urging residents to take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of the adverse weather conditions.

Recommendations include carrying umbrellas or raincoats, using collected rainwater for plants, and ensuring storm drains are clear of debris to prevent blockages. Authorities also advise caution while driving, as roads may have accumulated water, fallen trees, or other debris.

Residents are further advised to stay away from areas near potentially unstable walls, trees, power lines, and billboards that could pose a risk during the storm. The alert aims to ensure public safety and preparedness as the city anticipates the inclement weather.
