On the other hand, extreme temperatures have been reported in some regions of Spain, with the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) issuing warnings for temperatures reaching up to 44 degrees Celsius in some locations. However, this is not relevant to the situation in Mexico City, which is focused on heavy rain.

Local authorities continue to monitor the situation and recommend that citizens stay informed about the weather and the possibility of flooding in the most vulnerable areas.
