Rain in Emiliano Zapata: What You Need to Know

Emiliano Zapata, a municipality named for the revolutionary leader born nearby, adjoining Cuernavaca, sits inside the same broader weather system as the rest of Morelos — one where afternoon convective storms rolling off the highlands into the valley tends to call the shots.
