The temperature this Tuesday rose to 35°C (95°F). However, records are expected to be extreme during December, January, February, and March.
For this reason, authorities have started to issue a series of alerts so that the population becomes aware of the seriousness of the situation.

These trends are combined with nights that do not drop below 19.5°C (67.1°F), which prevents thermal recovery and increases health risks.
The official assessment states that urban temperatures are showing a systematic increase, with longer summers and more persistent tropical nights.

In the last decade, the city has tripled the frequency of heat waves and has experienced increasingly severe episodes.
