Mexico City's Secretaría de Gestión Integral de Riesgos y Protección Civil (Sgircp/SGIRPC) issued an alert for temperatures up to 31 degrees Celsius this weekend, particularly during Andrea Bocelli's free Romanza Tour concert at the Zócalo on Saturday, April 18. Very hot afternoon conditions are forecast with partly cloudy skies and possible light scattered rains at night. Officials recommend sunscreen, hydration, cotton clothing, avoiding prolonged sun exposure, and street food due to spoilage risks.
Mexico's National Center for Energy Control (CENACE) forecasts a historic peak of up to 54,000 megawatts in electricity demand during the hottest months from May to late summer, but with sufficient reserves to prevent blackouts. CENACE director Octavio Mota Palomino called it a 'tight summer, but without deficit.' Officials have taken preventive steps ahead of potential heat waves.
