Torreon sits in Mexico’s arid northern desert region, where a dry climate keeps annual rainfall low, but the North American Monsoon brings a short but intense rainy season from July through September.
In Coahuila’s arid Comarca Lagunera region, the city’s Nazas River can rise quickly during the summer monsoon season. Because the desert landscape sheds water quickly rather than absorbing it, monsoon thunderstorms can produce flash flooding well out of proportion to the region’s usual dryness, and Mexico’s Servicio Meteorologico Nacional radar network is a key tool for tracking these fast-developing storms.
