Francisco Miranda reports that Mexico City and the State of Mexico will experience significant rainfall and potential flooding on Monday.
The National Meteorological Service (SMN) predicts that Mexico City and the State of Mexico will experience intervals of light showers and strong, punctual rains on Monday, August 17, 2026. Francisco Miranda reports that the capital city will see accumulations of 5 to 25 millimeters of rain, while the State of Mexico could register between 25 and 50 millimeters. These conditions are driven by atmospheric instability and low-pressure channels affecting central Mexico. Authorities recommend that residents and travelers in the Valley of Mexico take precautions, as the rain may cause flooding and increase travel times on main access roads. Drivers are advised to reduce their speed and avoid crossing flooded areas of unknown depth. The SMN continues to monitor meteorological systems that favor precipitation across various regions of the country, including the north, west, south, and southeast. Residents are encouraged to stay attentive to updates from Civil Protection and keep drainage areas clear of debris to facilitate water removal.
