The government of Mexico City has announced a yellow alert for heavy rains set to affect all 16 boroughs on Thursday. Authorities predict rainfall between 15 to 29 millimeters during the afternoon hours from 1 PM to 8 PM. Citizens are urged to take precautions to avoid flooding, such as clearing debris from drains, avoiding crossing flooded streets, and securing windows and doors to prevent water ingress.

Additionally, strong winds reaching up to 50 kilometers per hour are expected to accompany the rain, posing further hazards like falling branches and signs. The city's risk management office is particularly concerned about potential damage in areas prone to heavy rainfall and has warned of the possibility of hailstorms in the borough of Álvaro Obregón. Local residents are urged to stay informed and prepared as conditions may lead to electrical storms and sustained heavy rainfall throughout the afternoon.

This proactive approach by the government aims to minimize the impact of the adverse weather conditions on citizens and infrastructure. With the rainy season beginning, such warnings highlight the city's vulnerability to precipitation-related hazards, making public awareness and preparedness essential for mitigating risks associated with severe weather events.
