Rain in San Andres Cholula: What You Need to Know

As the more affluent half of the twin Cholula municipalities, adjacent to the Great Pyramid, San Andres Cholula has its own character, but its weather follows the same Puebla pattern as everywhere else in the state: afternoon convective storms off the Sierra Nevada volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.

Practically, that translates into flash flooding in historic centers and valley towns as a real factor for San Andres Cholula, something residents plan around rather than get caught by.

RainViewer's radar data for Mexico comes from the Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA) — Mexico's National Water Commission. The map updates every 5 minutes, showing the actual rain over San Andres Cholula rather than a generic probability for the wider region.
