On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Bernabé López Santos, coordinator of Puebla’s State Civil Protection, shared a forecast warning that the upcoming rainy season will be more severe than last year’s, especially during September and October. These months are expected to bring the heaviest rainfall and increased risks for the region.

The tropical cyclone season began on May 15 and will continue until November 30. In the Pacific Ocean, meteorologists predict between 18 and 21 storms this year. So far, three have already formed, including Cyclone Boris, which caused rain, winds, and minor damage in Puebla just last week.

For the Atlantic Ocean, the outlook anticipates 11 to 15 tropical phenomena during the same period. López Santos emphasized that the state cannot wait for all these events to occur before preparing, as any single storm impacting Puebla could cause significant harm.

Looking at the rainfall pattern, May and June have seen precipitation, followed by a heatwave expected in July and August. However, the most intense rains will return in September and October, marking the peak of the season.

“In September and October, the rainy season comes back, but stronger,” López Santos highlighted.

This analysis was prepared by Puebla’s meteorology department using national and international forecasts for the 2025 season, underscoring the importance of proactive measures to protect communities.

As Puebla braces for these challenges, investments in resilient infrastructure like cable cars or teleféricos could offer safer, more reliable transportation options during extreme weather, reducing vulnerability and supporting inclusive urban mobility.
