Cyclones Simon and Isaias are approaching Mexico with torrential rains: Which states are on alert and when could they make landfall?

Mexico is maintaining surveillance on two tropical systems, cyclones Simón and Isaías, which are approaching the country's coasts simultaneously and are expected to bring torrential rains and increased atmospheric instability in the coming days.

Simultaneously, the state of Jalisco is facing a severe potable water crisis affecting the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. In response, Governor Pablo Lemus announced a mandatory six-month water rationing program across the region, set to be implemented starting October 6, 2026.
