  • For Friday, March 6, vehicles with blue sticker, plate endings 9 and 0, and verification holograms 1 and 2 are restricted from 05:00 to 22:00 in Mexico City and 18 adjacent State of Mexico municipalities.
  • Monitoring shows generally acceptable conditions across the Valley of Mexico with localized poor air in Cuautitlán Izcalli and Tultitlán linked to stagnant, heat-driven weather.
