| Date | October 2025 – present |
|---|---|
| Location | Mexico (Hidalgo, Veracruz, Puebla and Querétaro) |
| Deaths | 44+[1] |
| Property damage | About 1,000 km of roads 81,000+ houses 59 medical facilities 308 schools |
In October 2025, floods and landslides caused by heavy rains occurred in several Mexican states, killing at least 41 people, leaving more than 320,000 others lost power and nearly 1,000 km of roads across six states were damaged.[2][3][1]
Mexico has experienced unusually heavy rainfall this year, with Mexico City recording its wettest June in over 20 years. Authorities have related the deadly downpours to the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla and Tropical Rainstorm Raymond, both of which brought intense rainfall to the country’s western region.[4][5]
Hidalgo was among the worst affected areas, with 16 confirmed deaths. Landslides and overflowing rivers damaged about 1,000 homes, 59 medical facilities, and 308 schools. Seventeen of its 84 municipalities faced power outages.[6][5]
In Veracruz, over 21 inches (more than 530 mm) of rainfall fell between 6 and 9 October alone. The state recorded 18 deaths (including a police officer), while aproximately 5,000 homes were damaged. The Mexican Navy evacuated nearly 900 people to shelters.[6][5]
In Puebla, 9 people lost their lives and 13 were reported missing. Authorities said roughly 80,000 people were affected, and rescue efforts included helping people stranded on rooftops. A gas pipeline also ruptured following a landslide.[6][5]
In Querétaro, a child died after being swept away by a landslide.[6]
In response, Mexico has deployed around 8,700 military personnel to assist in rescue and relief operations, especially where roads have been blocked.[6][2][3]
On 12 October 2025, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated: “We continue with attention to the emergency in Veracruz, Hidalgo, Puebla, Querétaro, and San Luis Potosí, in coordination with the governor and the governors, as well as various federal authorities. The National Emergency Committee is in permanent session.”[1] On the same day, Sheinbaum visited Huauchinango, Poza Rica and Álamo, Veracruz, the cities most affected by the floods.[7]
