Mexico City Expects Rain in All Boroughs From About 19:00
Mexico City will see rain across all 16 boroughs from about 19:00 on Nov. 10, with heavy showers in four. Highs reach 23°C, lows 13°C. Full borough list.
Rain is forecast for every one of Mexico City’s 16 boroughs (alcaldías) on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with the first drops expected around 19:00 hours, according to the National Meteorological Service (SMN). Four boroughs are expected to get heavy rain, while the rest should see light rain.
The day itself starts out partly cloudy. The city’s civil protection secretariat, the Secretaría de Gestión Integral de Riesgos y Protección Civil (SGIRPC), said cloud cover will grow toward the afternoon, with a high of 23°C and a low of 13°C.
Where the heaviest rain is expected
Four boroughs are listed for strong downpours: Cuajimalpa, Álvaro Obregón, Magdalena Contreras and Tlalpan. Anyone who lives, works or commutes through those areas in the evening is the most likely to be caught in it.
The remaining boroughs are listed for light rain: Azcapotzalco, Gustavo A. Madero, Miguel Hidalgo, Venustiano Carranza, Cuauhtémoc, Iztacalco, Benito Juárez, Iztapalapa, Coyoacán, Tláhuac, Xochimilco and Milpa Alta.
How the day is expected to unfold
The SGIRPC described the morning and midday as medium cloudy and mild, with conditions that allow for light showers. The national water commission, Conagua, also posted a borough-by-borough forecast graphic for Nov. 10 on its weather account.
The SMN puts the start of the rain at about 19:00 hours. TV Azteca, which compiled the forecasts, reported that the weather is expected to disrupt the trips of thousands of residents. Reports of temperature feel differ in tone: the SGIRPC called the day warm, while TV Azteca’s write-up spoke of contrasts between cold and cloud.
What it means for Tuesday evening
Because the rain is forecast for the whole city and not for a single zone, the evening commute in all boroughs may be affected. The heavier rain in Cuajimalpa, Álvaro Obregón, Magdalena Contreras and Tlalpan is the main local difference.
The SGIRPC repeated its standard rainy-day recommendations for residents. It asked people to clear trash from storm drains inside and outside their homes, to avoid crossing streets or avenues where water is flowing, to carry a raincoat or umbrella when leaving the house, and to close doors and windows.
What to watch
The forecasts come from the SGIRPC, Conagua and the SMN, and each posts updates on its official accounts through the day. The 19:00 start time is an estimate from the SMN, so the timing and the boroughs affected may shift as conditions develop.
