Rain in Tultepec: What You Need to Know

Tultepec — a town northeast of Mexico City widely known as Mexico's fireworks capital, home to the annual National Pyrotechnic Festival — sees rain the way much of State of Mexico does: driven by afternoon convective storms across the crowded municipalities ringing Mexico City, several built on the drained bed of former Lake Texcoco, arriving fast and unevenly.

Tultepec isn't exempt from rapid drainage overwhelm within 20-30 minutes of storm onset, a pattern common enough across State of Mexico that a live view of the weather beats a general forecast.

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 Tultepec rather than a generic probability for the wider region.
