Ecatepec de Morelos sits on Mexico’s central highland plateau, where a temperate climate produces a distinct rainy season from roughly June through September, driven by seasonal shifts in atmospheric moisture rather than direct hurricane landfall.
Part of the greater Mexico City metropolitan area, the city’s rapid, often informal urban growth has outpaced drainage infrastructure in several neighborhoods. Because the surrounding valleys and basins were not originally designed to drain the runoff from today’s large urban populations, intense summer storms can cause serious street and river flooding even far from the coast, which is why Mexico’s Servicio Meteorologico Nacional radar network is used extensively in this densely populated part of the country.
