Mexico City and the State of Mexico expect heavy rains this Sunday, April 12, as various phenomena will affect atmospheric instability and moisture ingress from the coasts. The Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection has activated the Yellow Alert for rains, expecting precipitation of up to 29 millimeters in nine municipalities: Álvaro Obregón, Cuajimalpa, Gustavo A. Madero, Iztapalapa, Magdalena Contreras, Milpa Alta, Tláhuac, Tlalpan, and Xochimilco. The National Water Commission's (Conagua) Weather Service explained that a dry line, along with a trough in the upper levels of the atmosphere, are responsible for the heavy rains across the country, which will particularly affect states like Tamaulipas and Nuevo León with very strong downpours of up to 75 millimeters. In the case of Mexico City and the State of Mexico, the forecasted rains and hail are mainly due to low-pressure channels, as well as the entry of humid air. Rains in CDMX and Edomex: This is the forecast for Sunday, April 12. If you plan to go out this Sunday, April 12, take precautions, as Mexico City expects 5 to 25 millimeters of rain, while the State of Mexico expects 25 to 50 millimeters. The rains may be accompanied by electrical discharges and wind gusts of 30 to 50 kilometers per hour. Weekly rain forecast in CDMX and Edomex: This is the weather forecast from April 13 to 16. According to Conagua's climate forecast, it is expected that it will rain at least until Thursday, April 16, in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The forecast for rain and maximum temperatures of around 26 degrees Celsius contradicts the forecasts of the Environmental Commission of the Megalopolis (CAMe), which in early March warned that heat waves would last longer than in previous years between March and May. Environmental authorities also said that up to 15 days of environmental contingencies and consequently the 'Double Hoy No Circula' were expected, although in the last month, a poor enough air quality to declare a contingency was not registered.
