Overview
- City resource officials closed access Tuesday to Pico del Águila and Cruz del Marqués after sleet coated the upper Ajusco.
- The closure, announced with the San Miguel Ajusco and Santo Tomás Ajusco communities, will remain in place until safety improves and updates are posted on official channels.
- Mexico’s weather service said wintry mix could continue on central peaks such as Popocatépetl, Iztaccíhuatl and Nevado de Toluca, and urged people to avoid high-mountain trips and follow Civil Protection guidance.
- Forecasters link the event to a late cold-core low aloft, known locally as a DANA, meeting moist air over terrain that rises to about 3,937 meters at Pico del Águila.
- Elsewhere, residents in Linda Vista, El Nayar, reported an uncommon spring snowfall in the Sierra of Nayarit, pointing to a broader late-season chill affecting high-elevation areas.
