Mexico City, Mexico · 2026-10-12
From one forecast, for the hours from now on.
Can the laundry dry outside today
Dry it indoors
- Rain or snow is forecast during the drying hours, so there is no stretch long enough to dry.
What should my child wear today
2 layer(s) on top
- Dressing for the coldest part of the day (morning): A long-sleeved top and a light jacket, 2 layers.
- For the warmest part (midday), 1 fewer layer(s) should be enough. Layers that come off easily fit the day.
- Coat: a light jacket is needed.
- Rain gear: needed. A raincoat or umbrella, and boots.

An umbrella and rain gear are needed
- Rain or snow is forecast for 11:00–21:00.
- Precipitation in those hours adds up to 7.7 mm, and the most in one hour is 4.5 mm.
