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.
The Sgircp/SGIRPC forecast indicates intensifying heat starting Thursday, April 16 (high of 29°C), peaking at 29-31°C on Saturday, April 18, afternoons, with temperatures dropping to 21-24°C at night during the concert starting at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, April 19, will see slightly cooler highs of 26-29°C. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) predicts Valley of Mexico highs of 27°C Friday-Saturday and 29°C Sunday, with cloudy skies and no significant rains. Extremely high UV radiation is expected midday.
Andrea Bocelli's concert celebrates 30 years of his album Romanza, featuring guests Los Ángeles Azules and Ximena Sariñana. Organized by Banco Plata, the event promotes cultural democratization, per Mayor Clara Brugada. High attendance is anticipated; use public transport like Metro stations Zócalo/Tenochtitlán, Pino Suárez, or Allende.
This heat wave extends nationally, affecting states including Michoacán, Guerrero (over 40°C), Sinaloa, and Nayarit (up to 45°C in some areas).
