Most of what I can find points to drought, [ramping up in 2022]( https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/a-reservoir-runs-dry-150123/) but getting [even worse by 2024](https://www.climate.us/news-features/event-tracker/multi-year-drought-and-heat-waves-across-mexico-2024).

I went back there in 2024 as I was anyway in Mexico and didn't have any in-person obligations for a month, and I loved the way it modernized (at least in the areas I moved around in) and the atmosphere was much better than 2 decades ago, when it was rather grim.

There are also lots of breweries there. So I guess it really is a bit like SoCal, where the residential side of things are less than optimal due to water allocations? Not sure, worth digging into a bit.

I've never been but my wife's grandmother is from there.

There were periods that it felt so dry, as if you're in SoCal.
