Heavy rain in Mexico City causes significant flooding and disrupts Metro Line A service.

Heavy rainfall in Mexico City caused significant flooding on Ignacio Zaragoza Avenue, particularly at the Puente de la Concordia, where a collapsed drainage network left vehicles and pedestrians stranded. The inundation complicated travel toward the Los Reyes and La Paz routes, forcing motorists to use alternative paths like Eje 6 Oriente and Avenue Texcoco. The Mexico City Metro reported that Line A is operating provisionally between Pantitlán and Guelatao in both directions, while the Guelatao-La Paz segment remains without service due to underwater tracks at the Santa Martha Acatitla station. Pumping operations are underway to restore full service. The Secretariat for Integrated Risk Management and Civil Protection issued a Yellow Alert for several districts, including Coyoacán, Iztapalapa, and Xochimilco, due to intensified winds and persistent rainfall. Local authorities recommended that commuters exercise extreme caution while navigating the flooded roadways and public transportation systems.
