Extreme heat alert in central Mexico as temperatures may rise up to 3°C in coming months

The National Meteorological Service warns of significant temperature increases from March to May affecting key regions like Mexico City and surrounding states. This escalation in heatwaves and poor air quality intensifies concerns over environmental and health impacts, including heightened forest fire risks. Authorities are preparing for up to 15 contingency days and increased use of emission reduction measures such as the Doble Hoy No Circula program as temperatures soar.
