Puddles and floods, some of them deeper than others, are covering the streets of Cancún as a consequence of tropical wave 44, which has affected the activities in this tourist resort since yesterday.
The beach area is overlooked by red flags, and the aquatic activities have been suspended, with the tourists avoiding going to the sea.
The municipal government issued a statement expressing that "in spite of the many hours of intense precipitation" on Friday, the streets appeared cleared of water by Saturday morning, "as a result of preventive programs for the cleanup of sewerage" and the work of brigades.
However, there are still areas in the center of the city covered in water, high enough to hinder the movement of people and vehicles since Friday afternoon.
The situation has been actively presented on social networks, in a stark contrast with the official version of the events, mocking the municipal government and Mayor Paul Carrillo.
