Last night I was with Alejandro's family at their home on the north side of Mexico City. There we only had a few minutes of light rain, barely enough to wet the pavement. It was a different story on the south side of the city, where they had torrential rain, flooding and hail.
This photo on the front page of one of today's newspapers showed a street in the borough of Tlapan.
The hail covering the street made it look like a winter scene from a northern clime. Plows had to clear the ice away.
(Sorry, the photo quality is not good. The newsstand vendor had her newspapers covered with plastic.)
