Rainfall levels across Mexico reach historic lows

#Mexico is experiencing historically low levels of #rainfall this year, according to the National Water Commission (Conagua).

From Jan. 1 to June 11, the country recorded 20.1% less rainfall than in the same period of 2022, decreasing the level of water stored in reservoirs.

The Conagua said that the accumulated rainfall in the first half of the year was equivalent to 115.8 mm - 29.1 mm below the 20-year average.

Because of the blistering heat wave sweeping over many parts of the country and drought in some regions, Mexico’s major reservoirs reported a drop of 2.5% in water storage levels between June 5 and 11.

Of these 210 reservoirs, only three reported full storage capacity; the majority reported water storage levels below 50%.
